Using @RequestLine with Feign

I have a working Feign interface defined as:

@FeignClient("content-link-service")
public interface ContentLinkServiceClient {

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/{trackid}/links")
    List<Link> getLinksForTrack(@PathVariable("trackid") Long trackId);

}

If I change this to use @RequestLine

@FeignClient("content-link-service")
public interface ContentLinkServiceClient {

    @RequestLine("GET /{trackid}/links")
    List<Link> getLinksForTrack(@Param("trackid") Long trackId);

}

I get the exception

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Method getLinksForTrack not annotated with HTTP method type (ex. GET, POST)

Any ideas why?

Solution

  • I wouldn't expect this to work.

    @RequestLine is a core Feign annotation, but you are using the Spring Cloud @FeignClient which uses Spring MVC annotations.
