OpenFeign
OpenFeign是一个声明式RESTful网络请求客户端。OpenFeign会根据带有注解的函数信息构建出网络请求的模板,在发送网络请求之前,OpenFeign会将函数的参数值设置到这些请求模板中。虽然OpenFeign只能支持基于文本的网络请求,但是可以极大简化网络请求的实现,方便快速构建自己的网络请求应用。
OpenFeign的Spring应用架构一般分为三部分,分别为注册中心,服务提供者和服务消费者。服务提供者向服务注册中心注册自己,然后服务消费者通过OpenFeign发送请求时,OpenFeign会向服务注册中心获取关于服务提供者的信息,然后再向服务提供者发送网络请求。
消费者添加@EnableFeignClients开启Spring Cloud OpenFeign 的自动化配置功能
@EnableFeignClients就像一个开关,只有使用了该注解,OpenFeign相关的组件和配置机制才会生效。
源码分析
FeignClientFactoryBean是创建@FeignClient修饰的接口类Bean实例的工厂类,FeignContext是配置组件的上下文环境,保存着相关组件的不同实例,这些实例由不同的FeignConfiguration配置构造出来,SynchronousMethodHandler是MethodHandler的子类,可以在FeignClient相应方法被调用时发送网络请求,然后再将请求响应转化为函数返回值进行输出。
OpenFeign会首先进行相关BeanDefinition的动态注册,然后当Spring容器注入相关实例时会进行实例的初始化,最后当FeignClient接口实例的函数被调用时会发送网络请求。
动态注入BeanDefinition
@EnableFeignClients三个作用:
- 引入FeignClientsRegistrar
- 指定FeignClient的包信息,也就是指定FeignClient接口类所在的包名
- 指定FeignClient接口类的自定义配置类

FeignClientsRegistrar是ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar的子类,Spring用ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar来动态注册BeanDefinition。OpenFeign通过FeignClientsRegistrar来处理@FeignClient修饰的FeignClient接口类,将这些接口类的BeanDefinition注册到Spring容器中,这样就可以使用@Autowried等方式自动装载这些FeignClient接口类的Bean实例。
