Can't get Spring Retry to work

Question

I've been attempting to make my Spring application use Spring Retry for the past few days with no luck so far. I have an XML based config so I've tried adding

<context:annotation-config/>
<aop:aspectj-autoproxy />
<bean class="org.springframework.retry.annotation.RetryConfiguration" />

along with adding the needed dependencies and setting the function I'm using @Retryable, this didn't work.

I've also added a component-scan in my XML for a newly created config file, to which I've added @Configuration and @EnableRetry. I've tried this both with an empty config file and one with a ReturnPolicy set up in it, tried both of these setups with and without Aspects instead of using @Retryable. Neither options worked.

I'm running out of sources and ideas to explore, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Show the code that is using `@Retryable` and how you are invoking this. — M. Deinum, Jul 03 '18 at 06:46
The retried code is in a @Service java: `@Retryable public void postData(final Variable var) throws RestClientException { initConnections(); final HttpEntity request = buildRequest(var); restTemplate.exchange(URL,HttpMethod.POST, request, APIResponse.class); }` Called from a @Controller `try{ myService.postData(variable) } catch(RestClientException e){ //code } ` — CreativeUserName12, Jul 03 '18 at 07:55

I hope you are setting and calling it correctly. The @Retryable annotation on the method to be discovered needs to be called correctly from an initialised spring context. Are you doing that( method invoked from a bean from the spring context) or called by other means - outside context?

Alternatively JUnit is best friend - try SpringJunit4ClassRunner

You should restructure your test class at least to something like:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes=MyConfig.class)
public class MyServiceTest {
    @Configuration
    @EnableRetry
    @Import(myService.class)
    public static class MyConfig {}

Couple of reference pages are here

I'm calling the method from a Controller annotated class in the same context, the retryable function is in a Service class. They're both in the same project and are scanned in my applicationContext.xml — CreativeUserName12, Jul 03 '18 at 07:57
