How to define a RestTemplate via annotations

Depending on which technologies you’re using and what versions will influence how you define a RestTemplate in your @Configuration class.

Spring >= 4 without Spring Boot

Simply define an @Bean:

@Bean
public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
    return new RestTemplate();
}

Spring Boot <= 1.3

No need to define one, Spring Boot automatically defines one for you.

Spring Boot >= 1.4

Spring Boot no longer automatically defines a RestTemplate but instead defines a RestTemplateBuilder allowing you more control over the RestTemplate that gets created. You can inject the RestTemplateBuilder as an argument in your @Bean method to create a RestTemplate:

@Bean
public RestTemplate restTemplate(RestTemplateBuilder builder) {
   // Do any additional configuration here
   return builder.build();
}

Using it in your class

@Autowired
private RestTemplate restTemplate;

or 

@Inject
private RestTemplate restTemplate;
