Using Quarkus for Raw TCP Sockets

[kalvinnchau]

Hi,

Are there any examples of using Quarkus to open up a plain TCP (potentially UDP) socket that'll accept data do some transformations and pass data along the event bus? Most of the examples I see revolve around setting up a REST endpoint and going from there.
Is that the correct usage of Quarkus or is that a non-goal of this project?

Thanks

Something equivalent to this would be useful https://docs.spring.io/spring-integration/reference/html/ip.html

Yes this is possible. You have to inject a Vertx-Instance and create a NetServer or a DatagrammSocket.
