Autoconfiguration

This section shows how to set up autoconfiguration using two methods.

Using Annotation

To set up autoconfiguration, just use the @EnableExchangeClients annotation. This works like @EnableFeignClients and tells the framework where to find HttpExchange clients, then registering them as beans.

By default, it looks for clients in the same package as the annotated class.

• Specifying basePackages:

  @EnableExchangeClients(basePackages = "com.example")
  info

  If you specify packages with basePackages, it will only look in those packages, not the one with the annotated class.

• Specifying clients:

  @EnableExchangeClients(clients = {PostApi.class, UserApi.class})
  info

  This is quicker than basePackages because it doesn't have to scan the classpath.

• Combining basePackages with clients:

  @EnableExchangeClients(basePackages = "com.example", clients = {PostApi.class, UserApi.class})

Using Configuration

If you don't want to use annotations, you can set up using configuration.

application.yml

http-exchange:
   base-packages: com.example
   clients:
     - com.foo.PostApi
     - com.bar.UserApi

info

If you use both the annotation and config file, the settings from the annotation are used first.
