RestTemplate Null pointer exception In Spring boot Application

2020-09-21 10:14:22,402 ip-172-31-2-31.us-west-2.compute.internal t=? http-nio-7067-exec-5 ERROR o.a.c.c.C.[.[.[.[dispatcherServlet].log - Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcherServlet] in context with path [/sv] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException] with root cause

The issue occurs randomly after the application restart It will start working normally.

RestTemplate is Autowired in the class.

HttpEntity httpEntity = new HttpEntity(JsonUtil.toJson(payload), headers);
        ResponseEntity<String> responseEntity = null;
        try {
            responseEntity = restTemplate.exchange(requestURI, HttpMethod.POST, httpEntity, String.class);
            if (responseEntity.getStatusCode().is2xxSuccessful()) {
                String responseBody = responseEntity.getBody();
                List responseMap;
                ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
                responseMap = mapper.readValue(responseBody, new TypeReference<List>()
           }
}

//main class

@Bean(name = "restTemplate")
    public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
        CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create ()
                .setMaxConnTotal(
                        mfsConfiguration.getIntProperty("http.connection-pool.max-connection-total"))
                .setMaxConnPerRoute(
                        mfsConfiguration.getIntProperty ("http.connection-pool.max-connection-per-route"))
                .evictExpiredConnections()
                .evictIdleConnections (
                        mfsConfiguration.getLongProperty("http.connection-pool.idle-timeout-in-seconds"),
                        TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                .build ();
        ClientHttpRequestFactory requestFactory = new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory(httpClient);
        RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate(requestFactory);
        return restTemplate;
    }

# http connection pool
http.connection-pool.max-connection-total=10
http.connection-pool.max-connection-per-route=5
http.connection-pool.idle-timeout-in-seconds=60

Actually, there should be a more detailed explanation but as far as I understand you should add RestTemplate as a Bean for example in your main class.

@SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
   }
   @Bean
   public RestTemplate getRestTemplate() {
      return new RestTemplate();
   }
}
