Can I subscribe to an SseEmitter in Java

I am working on a Spring project in Java. We need ServerSentEvents there and using the SseEmitter looks like an easy way to send events to clients.

We also need to implement the Client in Java. Every tutorial I can find shows how to subscribe to the emitter in Javascript and the SseEmitter does not seem to have any subscription method. Does anyone know how I can listen to incoming events in Java?

Totally forgot about this, I found a solution. You can receive the emitter as a Flux<ServerSentEvent> and subscribe to it in your client project. There you can handle the ServerSentEvents. So actually pretty easy but it's confusing to not receive the same thing you sent on the other side.

This is how the Request looked like to receive the SSE-Emitter

    public Flux<ServerSentEvent<String>> subscribe() {
        ParameterizedTypeReference<ServerSentEvent<String>> type = new ParameterizedTypeReference<ServerSentEvent<String>>() {
        };
        Flux<ServerSentEvent<String>> eventStream = sendGetRequest("/SseEmitter/" + userName).bodyToFlux(type);
        return eventStream;
    }

Here is where I set the handling for incoming events:

    public static boolean subscribeToServer() {
        ParameterizedTypeReference<ServerSentEvent<String>> type = new ParameterizedTypeReference<ServerSentEvent<String>>() {
        };
        eventStream = RequestService.getInstance().subscribe();
        if (eventStream != null) {
            eventStream.subscribe(content -> {
                GuiMessenger.handleEvent(content);
            }, error -> {
                GuiMessenger.handleEventError(error);
            });
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
