Allow to get the body as String

[magro]

We need to calculate a signature of the body (String), which is not possible today because on successful validation the body is deserialized with jackson. Consuming the body additionally is not straight forward, therefore it makes sense that the validator allows to handle the consumed body as String.

To support this case, it's now possible to specify

• String as body type and
• an identity function for transforming the read body value

This solution gives some flexibility on how to transform the String to the desired value passed to the handler - there may be other cases than just getting the String.

An alternative solution to support this case would be to handle the get-string-body case very specifically, but then for other cases other solutions might have to be introduced. Therefore the more flexible solution is preferred.

Hi @cdimascio, any chance to get that reviewed/merged/released soonish?

@magro apologies. somehow i missed this. reviewing

[magro]

@cdimascio Ha, now it took me some time :-) I updated the README now...

Update: while going through the README I also noticed that java support is needed ;-) Therefore I removed the default argument and added a separate/overloading method instead...

Ping @cdimascio again :-)

@magro apologies for the delay. bintray discontinued there service on may 1. i had used them to manage publication to mavencentral and jcenter. i need to find a new mechanism.

in the meantime, i published a new package version (with your change) to github packages. for now, you can pull the latest version from there

Thanks for merging and publishing via github!

You can publish to maven central via sonatype, once the setup is done it's quite easy. https://central.sonatype.org/publish/publish-guide/

thanks a lot! i just published to sonatype. the staging event has not yet started. this used to take up to a few hours when using bintray. the same may be the case here.

[cdimascio]

it's successfully published to sonatype, i believe it should make it to mavencentral shortly

[cdimascio]

should be on mavencentral now

Awesome, thanks! :+1:
