Appendix A: Common application properties
Various properties can be specified inside your application.properties file, inside your application.yml file, or as command line switches.
This appendix provides a list of common Spring Cloud OpenFeign properties and references to the underlying classes that consume them.
| Property contributions can come from additional jar files on your classpath, so you should not consider this an exhaustive list. Also, you can define your own properties. |
