2.2 The service provider and feign client

We have defined a method in service provider:

    @GetMapping("hello")
    public Map<String, Object> hello(String name) {
        logger.info("get/hello "+name);
        Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
        map.put("hello param", name);
        return map;
    }

And the feign client is:

@FeignClient(name="nacos-provider-bswencw1", configuration = FeignConfig.class)
public interface DemoClient {
    @GetMapping("/hello")
    public Map<String, Object> hello(String name);
}

2.3 The reason of the problem

You can find that our provider does not define the method parameter in the request mapping annotation.

 @GetMapping("hello")
 public Map<String, Object> hello(String name) {

2.4 The solution

So the solution is to map the parameters in provider and feign classes

The provider class:

    @GetMapping("hello/{name}")
    public Map<String, Object> hello(@PathVariable String name) {
        logger.info("访问/hello "+name);
        Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
        map.put("hello param", name);
        return map;
    }

The feign class:

@FeignClient(name="nacos-provider-bswencw1", configuration = FeignConfig.class)
public interface DemoClient {
    @GetMapping("/hello/{name}")
    public Map<String, Object> hello(@PathVariable String name);
}

Now it works!
