Creating default custom Hystrix Property

I'm new on Hystrix, I'm just adding it to my project, but I'd like to know whether I can create a custom annotation "HystrixDefaultTimeoutProperty" that extends the HystrixProperty, so each time I want to use a default value for the timeout I can use that custom annotation instead of using:

@HystrixProperty(name = "execution.isolation.thread.timeoutInMilliseconds", value = "5000")

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • No, it is not possible, If you were to look at the source code of HystrixCommand and @HystrixProperty 

    @Target({ElementType.METHOD})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Inherited
@Documented
public @interface HystrixCommand {
  .....
}

    and 

    @Target({ElementType.METHOD})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Documented
public @interface HystrixProperty {
  .....
}

    Both of these annotations has

    @Target({ElementType.METHOD})

    which implies you can use these annotations only on Methods
