Dont see spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb-reactive and spring-boot-starter-webflux dependency in maven

Question

I am following the Spring Reactive Example from the link: https://github.com/mohitsinha/tutorials/blob/master/spring-boot-webflux-reactive-mongo/build.gradle . The same project I am developing using the maven, but I dont see below maven dependency present. What should I used ?

compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb-reactive') 

I am getting the below error:

[ERROR] The build could not read 1 project -> [Help 1]
org.apache.maven.project.ProjectBuildingException: Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs:
[ERROR] 'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.springframework.security:spring-security-webflux:jar is missing. @ line 48, column 15

Basically maven dependency for org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.ReactiveMongoRepository

Answer 1

I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like you are using spring boot 1.5.8.RELEASE And the link you provided uses 2.0.0.M2 , but according to mvnrepository there is no Spring Boot WebFlux Starter for 1.5.8.RELEASE version. As a result you are getting

version for org.springframework.security:spring-security-webflux:jar is missing

You can manually add a version , but this can probably cause invalid configuration problems, so just upgrade your pom to spring boot 2.0.0.M2 or higher
