spring-xd

I am pretty new to spring-xd and need some advice for creating a custom sink. Specifically, I would like to create a sink that registers a Websocket. The general idea is that module upload --file "websocket-sink-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar" --type "sink" --name "websocket-sink" stream create --name "websocket-sink-test" --definition "http --port=9191 | websocket-sink --port=9292" --deploy should install the sink module and create a stream that accepts http input on port 9191 and sends the payload to the websocket sink where clients can connect (via port 9292 ) and consume that data. I pretty much

So far I have implemented Spring XD processors, e.g. like this: @MessageEndpoint public class MyTransformer { @Transformer( inputChannel = "input", outputChannel = "output" ) public String transform( String payload ) { ... } }; However, I am stuck at implementing a custom sink now. The current documentation is not very helpful, since it simply configures something "magically" via XML: <beans ...> <int:channel id="input" /> <int-redis:store-outbound-channel-adapter id="redisListAdapter" collection-type="LIST" channel="input" key="${collection}" auto-startup="false"/> <beans:bean id=

Is there a way to launch a set of steams and taps that have been defined when a new instance of spring xd is launched? The scenario is this: We've done some prototyping on our dev systems, but now when we'd like to build and release this to a test team. We'd like to automate most of the background work and the user needs to just worry about the output from the streams and not have to worry about the streams or their definitions or their deployment. To facilitate this is there any runtime configurations we can use? UPDATE: Our current approach involves writing a shell script to make some rest

I heared rumors that Spring XD lost development drive and focus at Spring shifts towards cloud services. Since I'm considering XD (the otehr one I consider is Apache Beam, though not yet mature enough imho), I'd like to get some facts / release plan for the future of XD instead of relying on rumors. The Spring XD homepage has an announcement at the bottom of the page: Announcement Building upon Spring Boot and Spring Cloud capabilities, Spring XD is actively being redesigned as Spring Cloud Data Flow - a cloud native programming and operating model for composable message-driven microservices.
