Description

Remove url parameter from feign client. When the url parameter is present the feign client doesnt use the "name" to do a lookup in eureka. To enable Eureka lookup you need to remove the url parameter.

When using Feign with Eureka I have to manually remove url from
@FeignClient(name="${service.name:beaconService}", url="${service.url:http://localhost}", configuration = ClientConfiguration.class) public interface CustomResourceApiClient extends CustomResourceApi { }

Describe the solution you'd like

An option to genererate the client without url parameter

The genererated client should not have the url parameter any more.

Research direction

Start by locating the Java Feign client generator and the template or entry point that emits the @FeignClient annotation. Check how generated clients currently include the url parameter, then identify the configuration option needed to omit it while retaining name for Eureka lookup; add or run generation tests to verify the resulting annotation.
