Class RestTemplateBuilder

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.boot.web.client.RestTemplateBuilder

public class RestTemplateBuilder
extends Object

Builder that can be used to configure and create a RestTemplate. Provides convenience methods to register converters, error handlers and UriTemplateHandlers.

By default the built RestTemplate will attempt to use the most suitable ClientHttpRequestFactory, call detectRequestFactory(false) if you prefer to keep the default. In a typical auto-configured Spring Boot application this builder is available as a bean and can be injected whenever a RestTemplate is needed.

Since:

1.4.0

Constructor Detail

RestTemplateBuilder

public RestTemplateBuilder(RestTemplateCustomizer... customizers)

Create a new RestTemplateBuilder instance.

Parameters:

customizers - any RestTemplateCustomizers that should be applied when the RestTemplate is built

Method Detail

detectRequestFactory

public RestTemplateBuilder detectRequestFactory(boolean detectRequestFactory)

Set if the ClientHttpRequestFactory should be detected based on the classpath. Default if true.

Parameters:

detectRequestFactory - if the ClientHttpRequestFactory should be detected

Returns:

a new builder instance

rootUri

public RestTemplateBuilder rootUri(String rootUri)

Set a root URL that should be applied to each request that starts with '/'.

rootUri - the root URI or null

Returns:

a new builder instance

messageConverters
