Class FallbackMethod

java.lang.Object

io.github.resilience4j.fallback.FallbackMethod

public class FallbackMethod
extends Object

Reflection utility for invoking a fallback method. Fallback method should have same return type and parameter types of original method but the last additional parameter. The last additional parameter should be a subclass of Throwable. When fallback(Throwable) is invoked, Throwable will be passed to that last parameter. If there are multiple fallback method, one of the methods that has most closest superclass parameter of thrown object will be invoked.

 For example, there are two fallback methods
 
 String fallbackMethod(String parameter, RuntimeException exception)
 String fallbackMethod(String parameter, IllegalArgumentException exception)
 
 and if try to fallback from NumberFormatException, String fallbackMethod(String parameter, IllegalArgumentException exception) will be invoked.
