• Catch-all error handling for web services with RxClient and Spring Boot

  04/12/15

  One of Spring Boot’s many sample projects demonstrates how to configure Spring with Jersey. We’re using the JAX-RS API a lot in projects for developing of RESTful web services. It was designed for this specific task from the beginning, rather than retrofitted like Spring MVC was. Jersey also offers a reactive client API which supports a reactive programming model.

  In this post I’m going to show how to use the the reactive Jersey client based on RxJava together with Spring Boot. This post will also address how to handle and communicate server side errors back to the client. Specifically there are some issues I’ve discovered which are related to using the reactive Jersey client together with the embedded Tomcat container.
