Configuring Ribbon with Eureka

The problem in the first approach is that we still have to define the instance URLs manually. With Eureka, we can use its ability to resolve the microservice name dynamically and no more hardcore URLs are required. With Eureka, things are more straightforward. The Ribbon and Feign configuration will be changed as follows:

@FeignClient(name="catalog-service", path="/api/catalog" )@RibbonClient(name="catalog-service")public interface CatalogServiceProxy {  @GetMapping("/get-book/{bookId}")  public ResponseEntity<BookDTO> getInventory(@PathVariable("bookId") Integer bookId);}

No more url attributes are required for the @FeignClient annotation. Also, you can remove the catalog-service.ribbon.listOfServers property  ...
