How to implement a download file using feign client

I have a url which downloads a file. The signature of the url is http://services.local/api/v1/downloadFile?messageId=11090.I want to proxy it using feign client.Every time I get a exception telling my output stream is closed.

Fri Nov 02 16:18:47 IST 2018 There was an unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500). Could not write JSON: getOutputStream() has already been called for this response; nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: getOutputStream() has already been called for this response (through reference chain: org.springframework.security.web.firewall.FirewalledResponse["response"]->org.springframework.security.web.header.HeaderWriterFilter$HeaderWriterResponse["response"]->org.springframework.security.web.context.HttpSessionSecurityContextRepository$SaveToSessionResponseWrapper["response"]->org.springframework.security.web.firewall.FirewalledResponse["response"]->org.apache.catalina.connector.ResponseFacade["writer"])

My feign client is very simple

 @FeignClient(name = "downloadAPI", url = "${service.ip}")
public interface DownloadApiProxy {

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/downloadFile")
    public void downloadFile(HttpServletResponse response,
            @RequestParam(value = "downloadMessageId", required = false) String messageId);

I got the same problem where I want to make API call from one Microservice to another Microservice so I mapped that API which returning byte[].

So your code should be like:

@FeignClient(name = "downloadAPI", url = "${service.ip}")
public interface DownloadApiProxy {

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/downloadFile")
    public byte[] downloadFile(HttpServletResponse response, @RequestParam(value = "messageId", required = false) String messageId);

     :
     :
}

It will return downloaded file in byte[].

Note: Your query parameter will be messageId as par given example.
