Implementing Reactive events using RxJava 2.x

There are other Reactive implementations that can still be used with Spring 5.x applications and one is RxJava 2.x. Under Apache license, RxJava is now a widely used Reactive programming port in many android applications. It has a huge number of APIs that can implement extensive and highly-threaded operations with Reactive approach. Behind its huge set of packages, RxJava follows the Reactive Stream specification.

Getting ready

Lastly, an additional service class will be added to ch07 through which a new approach will be shown on how to create publishers and subscribers using the RxJava approach.

How to do it...

This last recipe will show us how Spring 5 can integrate with other Reactive Stream implementation such as RxJava 2.0:

1. In order for our Spring 5 platform to work perfectly with RxJava, add the following Maven dependencies to the pom.xml configuration:

<dependency> 
<groupId>io.Reactivex.rxjava2</groupId> 
<artifactId&gt...
