+# WebFlux: Spring Integration Java DSL
+
+This sample demonstrates the usage of the WebFlux protocol adapter to split incoming messages to different routes and provide the results as SSE events.
+
+NOTE: at the time of this writing, [the WebFlux integration drops POST messages with empty request body](https://jira.spring.io/browse/INT-4462)
+
+## Run the Sample
+
+* You need Java 8 to run this sample, because it is based on Lambdas.
+* running the `WebFluxApplication` class from within STS (Right-click on
+Main class --> Run As --> Java Application)
+* or from the command line in the _webflux_ folder:
+
+    $ mvn spring-boot:run
+
+## Interact with the Sample
+
+The sample expects messages containing a JSON array where possible items are `"latte macchiato""` or `"caffe"`.
+
+    $ curl -v -d "[\"latte macchiato\", \"caffe\"]" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/messages
+
+To listen for SSE events:
+
+    $ curl localhost:8080/events
+    
+Whenever a message is processed, a corresponding event will be sent to the _/events_ resource.
+
+    data:"latte macchiato"
+
+    data:"caffe"
