Override HystrixCommandAspect bean in spring-cloud-netflix-hystrix

Question

The HystrixCommandAspect bean is declared in the HystrixCircuitBreakerConfiguration class but I would like to use my own custom implementation of HystrixCommandAspect and inject a different bean.

Application:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAspectJAutoProxy
@EnableCircuitBreaker
@Import(HystrixConfiguration.class)
public class App {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(App.class, args);
    }
}

Configuration:

@Configuration
public class HystrixConfiguration {
    @Bean
    @Primary
    public HystrixCommandAspect hystrixCommandAspect(){
        return new com.hystrix.HystrixCommandAspect();
    }
}

Custom HystrixCommandAspect:

package com.hystrix;

@Aspect
public class HystrixCommandAspect extends com.netflix.hystrix.contrib.javanica.aop.aspectj.HystrixCommandAspect {
...
}

However, when I use the annotation @EnableCircuitBreaker it uses the HystrixCircuitBreakerConfiguration and doesn't even load my own @Bean definition.

Answer 1

I upgraded spring to the latest release and this fixed the problem. I also noticed in the logs that it said it was overriding the bean provided in HystrixCircuitBreakerConfiguration.
