spring-data-geode and spring-boot-starter-webflux application run failed

Question

I have a webflux project and I am adding apache geode. In my build.gradle I have:

implementation 'org.springframework.data:spring-data-geode:2.2.4.RELEASE'
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-webflux:2.2.4.RELEASE'

Once adding the spring-data-geode implementation the application crashes with:

2020-01-28T16:29:51,965 INFO  [main] org.eclip.jetty.util.log.Log 169 initialized: Logging initialized @4337ms to org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.Slf4jLog

    at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.run(SpringApplication.java:1215)

The trouble is, if I add

spring.main.web-application-type=none or spring.main.web-application-type=reactive to my application.properties then that interferes with the @ClientCacheApplication(name = "Web", locators = @Locator(host="1.2.3.4", port=10334), logLevel = "debug", subscriptionEnabled = true) annotation and the application does not connect to the geode locator, nor then run the @EnableClusterDefinedRegions which causes problems defining simple regions that I want to pick up from the server.

UPDATE To add spring-boot-starter-web to build.gradle and make the spring boot application type NONE as below appears to fix the instant problem, but...

SpringApplication app = new SpringApplication(Web.class);
app.setWebApplicationType(WebApplicationType.NONE);
SpringApplication.run(Web.class, args);

... but then the webflux mapping cannot find the @Bean websocket handler:

2020-01-28T16:54:26,236 DEBUG [http-nio-8082-exec-2] org.sprin.web.servl.handl.AbstractHandlerMapping 412 getHandler: Mapped to ResourceHttpRequestHandler ["classpath:/META-INF/resources/", "classpath:/resources/", "classpath:/static/", "classpath:/public/", "/"]
2020-01-28T16:54:26,246 DEBUG [http-nio-8082-exec-2] org.sprin.web.servl.resou.ResourceHttpRequestHandler 454 handleRequest: Resource not found

and this causes the website to error:

The console log says

WebSocket connection to 'ws://localhost:8082/ws/data' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 404

The problems with regions was because the classes using the regions defined by @EnableClusterDefinedRegions were (a) instantiated by new command rather than Spring @Autowired; and (b) in another package not seen by the Spring Boot @ComponentScan. Once these were fixed then the regions were auto-defined and handled using @Resource annotation.

@Resource(name = "Example") private Region<Object, Object> example

Also the main program was given

SpringApplication app = new SpringApplication(Web.class);
app.setWebApplicationType(WebApplicationType.REACTIVE);
SpringApplication.run(Web.class, args);

The other problem was fixed by getting the correct dependencies in the build.gradle and then annotating endpoints for rSocket / webSocket with:

@MessageMapping(value = "helloWorld")
public Flux<String> getFluxSocket() {
    log.traceEntry();
    log.info("In hello world");

    return Flux.just("{\"Hello\":\"World\"}");
}

or

@GetMapping(value = "/helloWorld", produces = MediaType.TEXT_EVENT_STREAM_VALUE)
public Flux<String> getRestSocket() {
    log.traceEntry();   
    return Flux.just("Hello World");
}

for HTTP endpoints.
