Spring Boot Rest Client - How to change the underlying HTTP Client

In this tutorial you will learn how to change the Http Client in the new Rest Client. The Rest Client has a fluent and easy to use API that makes communicating with services over HTTP intuitive.

please create chapters in your videos. It helps a lot.

Nice. Hope to see jwt token propagation.

[@jalsa09life]

Second that! Would love to see a sample of a front end webapp with JWT for user auth instead of spring session

Thank you for your tutorial, you are such a great person may God continue to bless you. Please sir make a tutorial on Java Back End with all the topics that will makes someone to become Java back end developer.
Thank you

Hey dan how do you move on with new feature added in each new version of spring boot.
I mean after looking at new release changes you go and understand them/learn them ?

[@siddharthshankarpaul]

Hope OkHttp 5 gets added.

[@Techlovers-daveInTheCloud]

By any chance, do you have an example of spring-boot project native image using web client (looking for the hint registration) ?

[@SandipChitale]

Nice video
Could you do videos on the following topics:
- How to implement per-request connection and read timeout?
- How to implement complete request and response streaming (success and failure 4xx and 5xx HTTP STatus) with ability to manipulate request and response headers? The body of request and response is to be completely streamed.

[@DanVega]

As far as I know there is no way to do that on a per request basis. Why would you want to do that?

What can be used to mock responses for RestClient in my integration tests?

[@DanVega]

You can use RestClientTest. I have an example here and I'm working on a video for that

[@gallardofabian]

Thanks for share. Maybe add an example with token, passport how inject With interceptors, etc.

[@danilagrishin4201]

In which cases should we use RestTemplate or WebClient or Feign? Thanks!

[@DanVega]

If you are in a Spring MVC app use RestClient if you're in a Webflux app use WebClient.

[@Anbu_Sampath]

how about Spring HTTP Interface Clients?

[@Muescha]

can you show the LiveTemplate for the RestClient? (or a link to a gist)

[@Muescha]

Found the answer in the README in your repo rest-client-examples

[@luisr8663]

Which has better performane: Rest Client or Feign Client?

[@chrispure7461]

How about Oauth2 support?

[@DanVega]

There is nothing built-in but its something we are looking into. Right now you could send a token via a header

[@chrispure7461]

@@DanVega ok. Don't we have to fetch token for ever call then? wish we had refresh token capability butiltin.

How to add ssl or client side certificates

[@MagnusLundvall]

How can we create an insecure RestClient that don't verify SSL/TLS?

[@aliksargsyan2782]

Is RestClient succesor of WebClient ?

[@DanVega]

No. In a Spring MVC blocking application you would usually reach for the RestTemplate unless you brought in Spring Webflux just for the WebClient. The Rest Client gives you a fluent imperative API similar to the Web Client.

@@DanVega aah ok 👌 thank you dear Dan.
