OAuth2RestTemplate - Client Side Caching












1















I see the below restTemplate being used for fetching OAuth token. I don't see any explicit call to cache the token in my application. However I see the same token value being returned by this template. Does OAuth2RestTemplate inherently implement client side caching? If so , does it make an explicit call to the OAuth2 endpoint when the token expires?



@Qualifier("oauth")
@Bean
public OAuth2RestTemplate restTemplate(@Qualifier("resourceDetails") ClientCredentialsResourceDetails resourceDetails) {
return new OAuth2RestTemplate(resourceDetails);
}


I saw the below in the documentation -




getAccessToken public OAuth2AccessToken getAccessToken()
throws UserRedirectRequiredException



Acquire or renew an access token for the current context if necessary.
This method will be called automatically when a request is executed
(and the result is cached), but can also be called as a standalone
method to pre-populate the token.

          it's clearly said that the token is cached in the context (DefaultOAuth2ClientContext object) created when defining a resource. however, the token is managed by calling getAccessToken(). here is what the Docs says about getAccessToken():




          Acquire or renew an access token for the current context if necessary.
          This method will be called automatically * when a request is
          executed (and the result is cached), but can also be called as a
          standalone method to * pre-populate the token.




          the token is cached until it's Expired, then it will be renewed automatically. this snippet of code from getAccessToken() describes it:



          if (accessToken == null || accessToken.isExpired()) {
          try {
          accessToken = acquireAccessToken(context);
          }


          About Caching mechanism, By default spring provides an in-memory caching




          DefaultOAuth2ClientContext




          but you can provide your own implementation of




          OAuth2ClientContext
