Hello, everyone! Today, I'll be showing you a straightforward way to set up an interceptor in the new RestClient class of the Spring Framework.
1º) First, let's create our project. We'll keep it simple, just for study purposes.
2º) Next, let's create our class that will be used as the interceptor.
@Component
public class RestClientInterceptor implements ClientHttpRequestInterceptor {
@Override
public ClientHttpResponse intercept(HttpRequest request, byte[] body, ClientHttpRequestExecution execution) throws IOException {
request.getHeaders().add("header1", "header 1 value");
return execution.execute(request, body);
}
}
According to the Spring Framework documentation, the ClientHttpRequestInterceptor interface is a contract to intercept client-side HTTP requests. Implementations can be registered with RestClient or RestTemplate to modify the outgoing request and/or the incoming response. The interface contains the method intercept, which intercepts the given request and returns a response. The provided ClientHttpRequestExecution allows the interceptor to pass on the request and response to the next entity in the chain.
3º) Let's configure our RestClient Bean.
@Configuration
public class RestClientConfig {
@Bean
RestClient restClient() {
return RestClient.builder().baseUrl(null).requestInterceptor(new RestClientInterceptor()).build();
}
}
4º) Now, let's create the classes to test our interceptor. We will need a service class to make HTTP requests and a test class to verify that the interceptor is working correctly.
@Service
public class Client {
private final org.springframework.web.client.RestClient restClient;
public Client(org.springframework.web.client.RestClient restClient) {
this.restClient = restClient;
}
public void restClientAct() {
restClient.post().retrieve();
}
}
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/")
public class RestClientController {
private final Client request;
public RestClientController(Client request) {
this.request = request;
}
@GetMapping()
public void getAccount(){
request.restClientAct();
}
}
5º) Done! Here is the curl command to test the endpoint:
curl --location 'localhost:8080'
I think that's it. This basic code should address your need to intercept requests made from the RestClient.
