ModifyRequestBody GatewayFilter Factory

You can use the ModifyRequestBody filter to modify the request body before it is sent downstream by the gateway.

This filter can be configured only by using the Java DSL.

The following listing shows how to modify a request body GatewayFilter:

@Bean
public RouteLocator routes(RouteLocatorBuilder builder) {
    return builder.routes()
        .route("rewrite_request_obj", r -> r.host("*.rewriterequestobj.org")
            .filters(f -> f.prefixPath("/httpbin")
                .modifyRequestBody(String.class, Hello.class, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE,
                    (exchange, s) -> Mono.just(new Hello(s.toUpperCase())))).uri(uri))
        .build();
}

static class Hello {
    String message;

    public Hello() { }

    public Hello(String message) {
        this.message = message;
    }

    public String getMessage() {
        return message;
    }

    public void setMessage(String message) {
        this.message = message;
    }
}
If the request has no body, the RewriteFilter is passed null. Mono.empty() should be returned to assign a missing body in the request.
