Description

As suggested by spring we are migrating towards RestClient for communicating on all downstream systems . However the configservicepropertylocator used for fetching application configuration for all profiles is tightly coupled with RestTemplate. There is no mechanism to switch underlying httpclient / work with available httpclients in spring containers
