How to add base URI in RestTemplate

Question

Is there any other way to initialize RestTemplate with base URI other than extending RestTemplate and overriding the execute method.currently i have the code like below.Thanks

class CustomRestTemplate extends RestTemplate {
String baseUrl

@Override
protected  T doExecute(URI url, HttpMethod method, RequestCallback requestCallback, ResponseExtractor responseExtractor) throws RestClientException {
    return super.doExecute(new URI(baseUrl + url.toString()), method, requestCallback, responseExtractor)
}

Spring 5.0:

This sends a GET request to http://localhost:8080/myservice

RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
restTemplate.setUriTemplateHandler(new DefaultUriBuilderFactory("http://localhost:8080"));
restTemplate.getForObject("/myservice", String.class);

If you are using Spring Boot, you can use org.springframework.boot.web.client.RestTemplateBuilder.rootUri(baseUrl).build()

looks like it does not work when you try to update the `baseUrl` String using Spring's `@Value` – jcflorezr May 10 '21 at 19:26

You can create your custom DefaultUriTemplateHandler

DefaultUriTemplateHandler defaultUriTemplateHandler = new DefaultUriTemplateHandler();
defaultUriTemplateHandler.setBaseUrl(url);

And then add it to restTemplate

return new RestTemplateBuilder()
      .uriTemplateHandler(defaultUriTemplateHandler)
      .build();

DefaultUriTemplateHandler has been Deprecated as of 5.0 in favor of DefaultUriBuilderFactory. So we should avoid using it. – Arvind Kumar Jul 31 '19 at 09:52

Spring's RestTemplate (version 4.2.0.RELEASE) support a method named setUriTemplateHandler. If this is never set, it contains a DefaultUriTemplateHandler

DefaultUriTemplateHandler supports a method named 'setBaseUrl`

So, you can set the base URL there.
