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

    • 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 '/'. Since this works by adding a UriTemplateHandler to the RestTemplate, the root URL will only apply when String variants of the RestTemplate methods are used for specifying the request URL. See RootUriTemplateHandler for details.
      Parameters:
      rootUri - the root URI or null
      Returns:
      a new builder instance
