When using OpenFeign to call APIs, you can set the interface timeout by configuring Feign. Follow these steps to set the interface timeout:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a Feign client configuration class that inherits from the FeignClientSpecification class, and override the apply method to set the timeout.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    import<\/span> feign.Client;\r\nimport<\/span> feign.Client.Default;\r\nimport<\/span> feign.Client.Default.DefaultClientConfig;\r\nimport<\/span> feign.Feign;\r\nimport<\/span> feign.Request;\r\nimport<\/span> feign.Request.Options;\r\nimport<\/span> feign.RequestTemplate;\r\nimport<\/span> feign.codec.Decoder;\r\n\r\npublic<\/span> class<\/span> MyFeignClientConfiguration<\/span> extends<\/span> DefaultClientConfig<\/span> {\r\n\r\n    @Override<\/span>\r\n    public<\/span> Client apply<\/span>(Client client)<\/span> {\r\n        return<\/span> new<\/span> Client<\/span>() {\r\n            private<\/span> final<\/span> Client<\/span> delegate<\/span> =<\/span> client;\r\n\r\n            @Override<\/span>\r\n            public<\/span> Response execute<\/span>(Request request, Options options)<\/span> throws<\/span> IOException {\r\n                \/\/ \u8bbe\u7f6e\u8d85\u65f6\u65f6\u95f4\u4e3a10\u79d2<\/span>\r\n                options = options.toBuilder().connectTimeout(10000<\/span>)\r\n                        .readTimeout(10000<\/span>).build();\r\n                return<\/span> delegate.execute(request, options);\r\n            }\r\n        };\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Add the @FeignClient annotation to the Feign interface and specify the configuration property to be the Feign client configuration class created in the previous step.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      @FeignClient(name = \"my-service\", configuration = MyFeignClientConfiguration.class)<\/span>\r\npublic<\/span> interface<\/span> MyFeignClient<\/span> {\r\n\r\n    @GetMapping(\"\/api\/someEndpoint\")<\/span>\r\n    String callSomeEndpoint<\/span>()<\/span>;\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
