Spring Webflux : Webclient : Get body on error

Question

I am using the webclient from spring webflux, like this :

WebClient.create()
            .post()
            .uri(url)
            .syncBody(body)
            .a         


        

Answer 1

You could also do this

return webClient.getWebClient()
 .post()
 .uri("/api/Card")
 .body(BodyInserters.fromObject(cardObject))
 .exchange()
 .flatMap(clientResponse -> {
     if (clientResponse.statusCode().is5xxServerError()) {
        clientResponse.body((clientHttpResponse, context) -> {
           return clientHttpResponse.getBody();
        });
     return clientResponse.bodyToMono(String.class);
   }
   else
     return clientResponse.bodyToMono(String.class);
});
