FeignClient not resolving Eureka service name

Question

I'm writing a Eureka Client Application using spring-cloud-starter-openfeign client. Here is my POM

As you can see, I'm using spring boot version 2.2.4.RELEASE spring-cloud.version Hoxton.SR1

This is my application class:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableFeignClients
public class ServiceRegistrationAndDiscoveryClientApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(ServiceRegistrationAndDiscoveryClientApplication.class, args);
    }

}

Till herem My client application is getting registered on Eureka service successfully, i can see my applicaiton on Eureka page as well.

Now I've written an interface to call another service, which is registered on Eureka also,

@FeignClient("ANOTHER-SERVICE")
public interface SPProxy {

    @PostMapping("/anotherserviceplatform/api/resource/test")
    String testAPI(@RequestBody TestRequestBody request);
}

and I'm calling this method from one of my controller. but Feign is not resolving the service-name to It's URL. it is tryign to make http call to

http://ANOTHER-SERVICE/anotherservice/api/resource/test

instead of calling

http://192.168.1.1:8080/anotherservice/api/resource/test

and getting timeout exception (Which is obvious). below is the stacktrace

2020-01-31 13:03:56.281 ERROR 16693 --- [nio-8080-exec-3] o.a.c.c.C.[.[.[/].[dispatcherServlet]    : Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcherServlet] in context with path [] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is feign.RetryableException: connect timed out executing POST http://ANOTHER-SERVICE/anotherservice/api/resource/test] with root cause

EDIT1: below is my application.properties

spring.application.name=test-client
eureka.client.serviceUrl.defaultZone=http://eurekahost:8761/eureka/

Answer 1

Adding eureka.client.enabled=true to application.properties file fixed issue for me

Answer 2

Recently I also faced the same issue. I was kind of able to figure out the root cause of this behavior when working with localhost.

Screenshot of issue reproduced at local

The whole reason for this to happen is that the eureka server is unable to resolve the http://currency-exchange-service/currency-exchange/from/USD/to/INR to http://localhost:9093/currency-exchange/from/USD/to/INR

if you check your Eureka server dashboard and hover the services registered you will see the hostname that eureka server is pointing as shown in below screenshot. If you hover link (under status column), the hostname we see is not correct which is causing this issue.

Screenshot of Eureka dashboard, the cause of the issue

Solution: Add the below property in your application.properties file of your Eureka client applications eureka.instance.hostname=localhost

in your case please put the appropriate host name.

and that should be it. After making the change restart you client applications. Go to you Eureka Dashboard again hover the link for you registered applications this should look something like below:

Screen shot of Eureka server dashboard after making the appropriate changes .

After making the changes please try and access your Http request using the feign client. It worked for me. Screenshot of the final result with API result

Answer 3

you can use restTemplate.exchange from spring automatically

or

private String getAnotherServiceBaseAddress() {

        try {

            InstanceInfo info = getEurekaClient().getNextServerFromEureka("another-service", false);
            if (info == null || info.getHomePageUrl() == null)
                return "(default)http://192.168.1.1:8080/anotherservice";
            else
                return info.getHomePageUrl()+"/anotherservice;

        } catch (NullPointerException e) {
             return "(default)http://192.168.1.1:8080/anotherservice";
        }
    }

public static EurekaClient getEurekaClient() {
    return applicationContext.getBean(EurekaClient.class);
}

finally:

HttpGet http = new HttpGet(getAnotherServiceBaseAddress() + "/api/resource/test");

Answer 4

eureka.instance.hostname=localhost add this to your application properties of the feign client service

Answer 5

There is one more reason for that:

1 - Check the application properties it should be like that :

spring.application.name=reception-service
eureka.client.serviceUrl.defaultZone=http://localhost:8761/eureka
eureka.client.enabled=true
spring.cloud.config.enabled=false
eureka.instance.hostname=localhost 

2 - Make sure the service name is in capital letters, not small letters : like that :

@FeignClient(name = "INSURANCE", path = "/apis/v1/inc")

Not like

@FeignClient(name = "Insurance", path = "/apis/v1/inc")

3 - Add important annotation :

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableFeignClients
