Refactor `RestTemplate` to `WebClient` or `RestClient` #71

Open shanman190 opened 3 years ago

shanman190 commented 3 years ago

As of Spring Framework 5.0, RestTemplate has been put into maintenance mode with a recommendation to attempt to use WebClient. A refactoring rule for this would be awesome and should be fairly straightforward.

@shanman190 I agree this would be a handy recipe For future reference: webclient loadbalancer docs RestTemplate vs WebClient blog

shanman190 commented 3 years ago

@pway99, yep. I've gone through several RestTemplate -> WebClient refactors and it's by no means difficult, but it can become tedious. 😆

Those guides summarize what a recipe may entail pretty well.

Another option here or for a new issue would be to target the new RestClient that is coming with Spring Framework 6.1. This component will be reusing the infrastructure that has been built around RestTemplate already.
