Spring-Cloud Hystrix (fallback method wasn't found)

Tiago Costa picture Tiago Costa · Feb 1, 2017 · Viewed 8k times · Source

I'm trying to use hyst however when calling the save method, which makes a post with resttemplate, gives the following exception:

com.netflix.hystrix.contrib.javanica.exception.FallbackDefinitionException: fallback method wasn't found: breaker([class com.wnb.mastercard.domain.enroll.EnrollCommand])

Can someone help me?

@Component
public class EnrollRepositoryRest {

    @Autowired
    private RestTemplate template;

    @Value("${beblue-card-enroll.url}")
    private String url;

    public Enroll getEnrollByCardId(String cardId) {

        Enroll[] enroll = template.getForObject(url + "cardEnroll/enroll/" + cardId, Enroll[].class);

        return enroll[0];
    }

    @HystrixCommand(fallbackMethod = "breaker")
    public void save(EnrollCommand command) {
        template.postForObject(url + "/cardEnroll/enroll", command, EnrollCommand.class);
    }

    public String breaker() {
        System.out.println("HYSTRIX EXECUTADO");
        return "Hystrix is Ok";
    }
}

I think the exception is clearly telling you the issue. The method:

public String breaker(EnrollCommand command) {
    System.out.println("HYSTRIX EXECUTADO");
    return "Hystrix is Ok";
}

Does not exist. (Notice the argument in the signature)

When you define a fallback method with that annotation the fallback method must match the same parameters of the method where you define the Hystrix Command.
