HystrixCommand only works with Spring Service or Component?

Question

Does Spring Hystrix only work with @Service and @Component?

I had a class that was defined as a @RestController and my HystrixCommand would not fire, the method would execute but not behave as a HystrixCommand. When I made a @Service class and put the HystrixCommand method and fallback into it the HystrixCommand would work properly.

What are the appropriate Spring annotations that can be used with @EnableHystrix?

Answer 1

For now, you described the appropriate places. We have an open issue that mentions support for controllers.
