+If not just the body, but also the status or headers are based on an asynchronous type,
+you can use the static `async` method on `ServerResponse`, which
+accepts `CompletableFuture<ServerResponse>`, `Publisher<ServerResponse>`, or
+any other asynchronous type supported by the `ReactiveAdapterRegistry`. For instance:
+
+[source,java,role="primary"]
