How do I use Spring Retry in my application?

Spring Retry is a library that provides a way to automatically retry operations that may fail. You can use it to handle transient errors.

Can you give me a simple example of how to implement it?

Sure! You can annotate your method with @Retryable to specify the retry behavior. For example:

@Retryable(value = { IOException.class }, maxAttempts = 3)
public void someMethod() {
    // method implementation
}

What if I want to customize the backoff strategy?

You can use the @Backoff annotation to customize the delay between retries. For example:

@Retryable(value = { IOException.class }, maxAttempts = 3,
           backoff = @Backoff(delay = 2000))
public void someMethod() {
    // method implementation
}

Is there a way to handle failures after all retries?

Yes, you can use the @Recover annotation to define a recovery method that will be called if all retry attempts fail.
