Vertx event bus interceptor blocking the request call

Question

I am trying to send data over event bus when got the call from client and response back to client.

Everything is working fine until i add the interceptor on event bus..

Here is the Code:-

public class TestVerticle extends AbstractVerticle {

    @Override
    public void start(Promise<Void> promise) {

        Router router = Router.router(vertx);

        vertx.exceptionHandler(globalExceptionHandler -> {
            System.out.println("Exception not handled in application  : " + globalExceptionHandler.getCause());
        });

        vertx.eventBus().consumer("test", handler -> {
            System.out.println("Message receive form event bus : " + handler.body().toString());
            handler.reply(handler.body().toString());
        });

        router.get().handler(this::rootHandler);
        vertx.createHttpServer().requestHandler(router).listen(8080, resultHandler -> {
            if (resultHandler.succeeded()) {
                promise.complete();
            } else {
                promise.fail(resultHandler.cause());
            }
        });

        vertx.eventBus().addOutboundInterceptor(handler -> {
            System.out.println("Outbound data : "+handler.body().toString());
        });

//        vertx.eventBus().addInboundInterceptor(handler -> {
//            System.out.println("Inbound data : " + handler.body().toString());
//        });
    }

    private void rootHandler(RoutingContext routingContext) {
        JsonObject msg = new JsonObject().put("path", routingContext.request().path());
        vertx.eventBus().request("test","Hello from Application",reply -> this.replyHandler(routingContext,reply));
    }

    private void replyHandler(RoutingContext ctx, AsyncResult<Message<Object>> reply) {
        HttpServerResponse response = ctx.response()
                .putHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
        System.out.println("Reply from event bus : " +reply.result().body().toString());
        if (reply.succeeded()) {
            response.setStatusCode(200)
                    .setStatusMessage("OK")
                    .end(reply.result().body().toString());
        } else {
            response.setStatusCode(500)
                    .setStatusMessage("Server Error")
                    .end(new JsonObject().put("error", reply.cause().getLocalizedMessage()).encodePrettily());
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Vertx.vertx().deployVerticle(new TestVerticle(), deploymenHandler -> {
            if (deploymenHandler.succeeded()) {
                System.out.println("verticle deplyed");
            } else {
                System.out.println("failed");
            }
        });

    }

    @Override
    public void stop(Promise<Void> promise) {
        System.out.println("Exiting verticle");
        promise.complete()
    }
}

One more doubt is when I stop the application from IDE the Stop method is not called, but If I undeploy this verticle from another verticle that is working fine.

When you are using eventbus interceptors you will have to call the next() method in the handler otherwise you will get stuck there.

vertx.eventBus().addOutboundInterceptor(handler -> {
  System.out.println("Outbound data : "+handler.body().toString());
  handler.next();
});

vertx.eventBus().addInboundInterceptor(handler -> {
  System.out.println("Inbound data : "+handler.body().toString());
  handler.next();
});
