Feign Spring

This module overrides OpenFeign/feign annotation processing to instead use standard ones supplied by the spring annotations specification.

Currently Supported Annotation Processing

Feign only supports processing java interfaces (not abstract or concrete classes).

ISE is raised when any annotation's value is empty or null. Ex. Path("") raises an ISE.

Here are a list of behaviors currently supported.
