brave-resteasy-spring

The brave-resteasy-spring module has RESTEasy client and server support which makes the usage of Brave transparent for your application.

Configuration

Tracing always needs beans of type Brave and SpanNameProvider configured. Make sure these are in place before proceeding.

To setup Resteasy 2.x tracing, tell Spring to scan the package com.github.kristofa.brave.resteasy. There's nothing further needed.

Details

This module contains:

• BraveClientExecutionInterceptor can be configured to be used with the RestEasy Client Framework and intercepts every client request made.
• BravePreProcessInterceptor and BravePostProcessInterceptor will intercept requests at the server side.

There is a separate example application that shows how to set up and configure the RESTEAsy integration using Spring -> https://github.com/openzipkin/brave-resteasy-example

brave-resteasy-spring puts the Spring and RESTEasy dependencies to scope provided which means you are free to choose the versions yourself and add the dependencies to your own application.

Important to know is that you should use a recent RESTEasy version otherwise the integration might not work. It does for example not work with RESTEasy 2.2.1.GA. It does work with 2.3.5.Final which is also used in https://github.com/kristofa/brave-resteasy-example.

When it comes to Spring the oldest version I tried out and which worked was 3.0.5.
