The code works:

                .from(Http.inboundGateway("goods/{operation}")
                        .requestMapping(m -> m.methods(HttpMethod.POST))
                        .requestPayloadType(String.class)
                        .headerExpression(MessageHeaderName.OPERATION, "#pathVariables.operation"))
//......

It still works when @EnableFeignClients add to Spring Boot Application entry. But once the @FeignClient instance wired to(by @Autowired) any config Class(@Configuration), it's not working. I have checked http://myproject/mappings (The request mappings info provided by Spring boot), mappings "/goods/**" disappeared.

It's a simple project that explains this problem: https://github.com/Princelo/demoForSiAndFeignProblem/blob/master/src/main/java/com/example/demo/config/AnyConfig.java

Please, see https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-integration/issues/2752 for more info and for tracking the fix.

Meanwhile as a workaround I suggest to have a @Lazy whenever you try to inject Feign client interfaces.

The problem that FeignClientFactoryBean initiate a new child ApplicationContext for each Feign cleint and calls a ContextRefreshedEvent for them too early. The IntegrationRequestMappingHandlerMapping doesn't check for the context of the event and marks itself initialized wrong way, missing the scan for appropriate HTTP components.
