Configure Spring RestTemplate with OkHttp3 in Spring Boot Application

Configure Spring RestTemplate with OkHttp3 in Spring Boot Application

Okhttp3 is a popular HTTP client implementation for Java and we can easily embed it in our Spring Boot RestTemplate abstraction.

Below is the Bean definition which binds the instance of Okhttp3 client with RestTemplate.

import okhttp3.ConnectionPool; import okhttp3.OkHttpClient; import org.slf4j.Logger; import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration; import org.springframework.http.client.OkHttp3ClientHttpRequestFactory; import org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate;   import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;   @Configuration public class OkHttpConfiguration {       private Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass());       private static final int HTTP_MAX_IDLE = 20;     private static final int HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE = 20;     private static final int HTTP_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = 30;       @Bean     public RestTemplate okhttp3Template() {         RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();           OkHttpClient.Builder builder = new OkHttpClient.Builder();         ConnectionPool okHttpConnectionPool = new ConnectionPool(HTTP_MAX_IDLE, HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE,                 TimeUnit.SECONDS);         builder.connectionPool(okHttpConnectionPool);         builder.connectTimeout(HTTP_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT, TimeUnit.SECONDS);         builder.retryOnConnectionFailure(false);           restTemplate.setRequestFactory(new OkHttp3ClientHttpRequestFactory(builder.build()));           return restTemplate;     } }

Now to integrate in our implementation class we just need to autowire the Resttemplate to use this customized Okhttp3 based resttemplate.
