How to implement Service Retry in our Spring boot application ?

In this tutorial we will learn how to implement service retry in our spring boot application without any custom logic.

For Example : we want to connect with DB or we want to get data from any other third party API but due to some network issue or any other issue we were not able to fetch the data but after some time with same request we are getting data, then in that case we can use retry operation. we can apply fix number of retry like we can retry with same request 3 times or 5 times.

Okay Lets look into the coding part how we can implement retry in spring boot application. First, we will create one spring boot application using https://start.spring.io/

If we want to perform retry operation in our service layer logic without writing any custom logic . so first we need to add these two dependencies in our pom.xml.

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

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-aspects</artifactId>
</dependency>

No after adding these two dependencies in our pom.xml. we can enable retry in our spring boot application using @EnableRetry annotation at configuration class or in main class.
