Feign REST Client - Converts GET requests to POST

[ph0bos]

When implementing a Feign client as per (http://projects.spring.io/spring-cloud/spring-cloud.html#_declarative_rest_client_feign) using the following interface all GET requests to "getStore" are actually being attempted as POST requests resulting in an Unsupported Operation exception being thrown.

The listPlatforms call is executed as a GET request and works as expected.

Interface;

public interface PlatformClient {
    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/platforms")
    List getPlatforms();

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/platforms/{platformId}")
    Platform getStore(@PathVariable("platformId") String platformId);
}

Exception;
Caused by: feign.FeignException: status 405 reading PlatformRestClient#getPlatform(String); content:

@ph0bos I hadn't added support for parameter annotations yet. So your @PathVariable was ignored and the String was passed as the body, and when there is a body it assumes POST. I've added support for @PathVariable, @RequestParam and @RequestHeader

@spencergibb in witch version?
RequestHeader doesnt work for me
I'm using springCloudVersion = 'Edgware.SR5'

I am not able to pass body in Get request while using Feign. If I am doing so it is still converting get request to post.
Do we have any work around on this. I just want to separate my header and body while calling the get method.

Try this ..............

@component
public class AdapterRequestInterceptor implements RequestInterceptor {

/* (non-Javadoc)
 * @see feign.RequestInterceptor#apply(feign.RequestTemplate)
 */
@Override
public void apply(RequestTemplate requestTemplate) {
	HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
	headers.setAccept(Arrays.asList(new MediaType[] { MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON }));
	headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
	// Other header values -- from a dynamic function.
	

	addHeadersToRequest(headers, requestTemplate);
	System.out.println("Test");
}

/**
 * @param headerParams
 * @param requestBuilder
 */
private void addHeadersToRequest(HttpHeaders headerParams, RequestTemplate requestBuilder) {
	for (Map.Entry<String, List<String>> entry : headerParams.entrySet()) {
		String headerName = entry.getKey();
		for (String headerValue : entry.getValue()) {
			requestBuilder.header(headerName, headerValue);
		}
	}
}

}
