Using Spring-retry with Dropwizard

Question

Is it possible to make use of spring-retry within dropwizard? Or, for that sake, is there something like spring-retry in dropwizard?

Answer 1

Not sure of wha spring retry does, but for client retries, you can configure retries for HttpClient

httpClient:
  timeout: 500ms
  retries: 3

The number of times to retry failed requests. Requests are only retried if they throw an exception other than InterruptedIOException, UnknownHostException, ConnectException, or SSLException.

See Dropwizard documenation

Answer 2

From Spring Batch - Reference Documentation, 9. Retry:

The retry functionality was pulled out of Spring Batch as of 2.2.0. It is now part of a new library, Spring Retry.

Spring Retry can be used independently of other Spring projects.

e.g. In a Maven project you can simply add the following in your POM:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.retry</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-retry</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
