Integrate Spring Cloud load balancing with KeycloakRestTemplate

I have a microservice landscape configured with Spring Cloud discovery so I'm able to access other service instances just using their id's:

public class MyClass {

    @Autowired
    @LoadBalanced
    private RestTemplate restTemplate;

    public String doOtherStuff() {
        String results = restTemplate.getForObject("http://stores/stores", String.class);
        return results;
    }
}

Now I want to access a service which needs OAuth2 authorization. I use a Keycloak server in order to provide it and Keycloak already provides an adapter with an specific KeycloakRestTemplate. Anyway, how to enhance it with load balancing?

your solution is not realy good, because 

@Bean
@Scope(ConfigurableBeanFactory.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE)
@LoadBalanced
public KeycloakRestTemplate keycloakRestTemplate(
        KeycloakClientRequestFactory keycloakClientRequestFactory,
        LoadBalancerInterceptor interceptor) {
    KeycloakRestTemplate result = new KeycloakRestTemplate(
        keycloakClientRequestFactory);
    // Add the interceptor for load balancing
    result.getInterceptors().add(interceptor);
    return result;
}

not has worked, becouse you have got exception 

The dependencies of some of the beans in the application context form a cycle:
...
┌─────┐
|  keycloakRestTemplate defined in class path resource [...]
↑     ↓
|  ribbonInterceptor defined in class path resource [org/springframework/cloud/client/loadbalancer/LoadBalancerAutoConfiguration$LoadBalancerInterceptorConfig.class]
↑     ↓
|  org.springframework.cloud.client.loadbalancer.LoadBalancerAutoConfiguration     (field private java.util.List org.springframework.cloud.client.loadbalancer.LoadBalancerAutoConfiguration.restTemplates)
└─────┘

What do you have to do?

@Bean
@LoadBalanced
public KeycloakRestTemplate keycloakRestTemplate(
        KeycloakClientRequestFactory keycloakClientRequestFactory) {
    return new KeycloakRestTemplate(keycloakClientRequestFactory);
}

without @Scope(ConfigurableBeanFactory.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE) then you get singleton which you cane use like this

@Autowired
protected KeycloakRestTemplate restTemplate;

or you can define restTemplate like prototype

@Bean
@Scope(ConfigurableBeanFactory.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE)
@LoadBalanced
public KeycloakRestTemplate keycloakRestTemplate(
        KeycloakClientRequestFactory keycloakClientRequestFactory) {
    return new KeycloakRestTemplate(keycloakClientRequestFactory);
}

and then use like this

@Autowired
@LoadBalanced
protected KeycloakRestTemplate restTemplate;

Edit: The solution of Xtreme Biker has not worked with SpringBoot 2 and Keycloak 6 because of problem with cycle, my first proposition is not threads/sesions save, the second does not work because of been will be createing before run @LoadBalanced and the restTemplate wchich is created based on prototype is to without sets interceptor :|

We need to create a specific KeycloakRestTemplate which will use a LoadBalancerInterceptor:

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
@ComponentScan(basePackageClasses = KeycloakSecurityComponents.class)
public class SecurityConfig extends KeycloakWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Bean
    @Scope(ConfigurableBeanFactory.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE)
    @LoadBalanced
    public KeycloakRestTemplate keycloakRestTemplate(
            KeycloakClientRequestFactory keycloakClientRequestFactory,
            LoadBalancerInterceptor interceptor) {
        KeycloakRestTemplate result = new KeycloakRestTemplate(
            keycloakClientRequestFactory);
        // Add the interceptor for load balancing
        result.getInterceptors().add(interceptor);
        return result;
    }

    //More configurations for keycloak

}

So there's the chance of getting an Authorized / LoadBalanced template:

@Autowired
@LoadBalanced
protected KeycloakRestTemplate restTemplate;
