Gateway MVC : Support for externalized or Dynamic routes

[kdhrubo]

Describe the bug
4.1.0

Spring Cloud Gateway (Reactive) does support configuring routes in yml as well as dynamic route refresh from external sources. The gateway MVC does not support route refresh capability at runtime. If so kindly share how it can be done.

Sample
NA

It's not currently a feature

[kdhrubo]

Any chance it will be added in near future to make it comparable to reactive gateway?

[code4curiosity]

would like this feature to be added, that makes gateway mvc more usable.

[kdhrubo]

Looking forward to this feature.

[rmasoudi]

I am looking forward too!

[kdhrubo]

Looks like work is underway.

Any update on that feature?

[spencergibb]

Using external config files currently works. For routes from something like DiscoveryClient, when this issue is assigned a project, then we are starting work on it.

[kdhrubo]

thanks @spencergibb
using external config files - do you mean spring config files?

My original intent was from non spring files or say external data source like a database to load the configuration.
Any test or example reference will be helpful.

[spencergibb]

Yes external properties (application.properites or yaml). The db or discovery client is what this issue is for, so I don't have any test or example.

Any tip on how this can be done, i can take an attempt and may be create a PR.
