I am using annotation based approach - @Retryable to do retry in spring boot application. 

@Retryable(value = {DataAccessException.class, JpaSystemException.class}, maxAttempts = Integer.MAX_VALUE, backoff = @Backoff(delay = 30000))

What I want to do is, everytime it retries I want to access its current retry attempt.

I tried doing this using Java Reflection - 

Retryable retryable = mth.getAnnotation(Retryable.class);

But using this I am not getting the current retry attempt. It just gives the details which are been added to the @Retryable attribute like value, maxAttempts, Backoff details

Any idea on this? Help is highly appreciated.

You can't access the template, unless you wire up your own interceptor and provide it to the @Retryable in the interceptor property.

You can, however access the count within the @Retryable method using

int retry = RetrySynchronizationManager.getContext().getRetryCount();

  • very useful. Thanks – UnguruBulan Aug 27 '21 at 13:37
  • Any prerequisite for using RetrySynchronizationManager.getContext()? In which scenarios it could be null? – YS_NE Nov 25 '21 at 20:57
  • The only thing I can think of is that the bean with the method is not actually advised by a retry interceptor - that would happen, for example, if there is no `@EnableRetry` on a `@Configutation` bean. Another possibility is an internal call to the method from the same class, which bypasses the proxy. If neither of those are the case, I suggest you ask a new question with code/config. – Gary Russell Nov 26 '21 at 14:47
