Hands-On Spring Security 5 for Reactive Applications

Creating a WebClient instance

A WebClient instance can be created by using the create() method, or by using the builder() method. In our sample, we have used the builder() method, as follows:

@Servicepublic class WebClientTestImpl implements WebClientTestInterface {    private final WebClient webClient;    public WebClientTestImpl(WebClient.Builder webClientBuilder) {        this.webClient = webClientBuilder.defaultHeader(HttpHeaders.ACCEPT,             MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)              .baseUrl("http://localhost:8080/api/movie").build();    }    //...Other methods}
