Spring Cloud DataFlow automated run

Question

I want my application to run DataFlow task after some condition is satisfied (some event raises). Is there any way to run that from code:

1. Some event raised
2. Spring DataFlow starts some task

without Spring DataFlow shell, just start all from my code (register app in DataFlow, etc)?

Answer 1

You can take advantage of "stream-launching-a-task" feature to automate the launching of any arbitrary short-lived task application.

SCDF also offers REST-API and an REST-template that can be used for programmatic orchestration as opposed to the DSL/Shell.
