There are several reasons for this exception. One common use case is when one application tries to communicate with another application and is somehow not able to reach another application then we might encounter this error.
For example, we have two microservices and they are trying to communicate with each other.
public Employee getEmployeeWithAddress(Long employeeId) {
Employee employee = employesRepository.findById(employeeId);
Address address = restTemplate.getForObject("http://localhost:9988/addresses/1", Address.class);
//Some more code
return employee;
}Here We are trying to call another microservice that is returning the Address.
How to fix java.lang.IllegalStateException: No instances available for localhost error.
- Make sure if you are using @LoadBalanced annotation from org.springframework.cloud.client.loadbalancer package then you have the proper configuration. Try to remove this annotation and run the application for troubleshooting.
@Bean
@LoadBalanced
public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
return new RestTemplate();
}- Remove cloud-related dependencies from pom.xml, if you are not using those.
For example, if we have Eereka cloud dependency then remove those if you are not using.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
</dependency>- Make sure the service you trying to connect is up and running and configured url is correct.
Cross check configured url. Also, check service is up and running.
- Service Not Registered with Service Registry (Eureka)
The target service might not be registered with the service registry (Eureka or other service registry tools). Ensure that the target service is correctly registered with the service registry. Check the service’s configuration to make sure it’s set up to register with the registry.
- Network Configuration Issues
Network issues, such as firewall rules or DNS resolution problems, might prevent the client service from connecting to the target service.
For example, sometime same code will not connect/work in the office/company network but if you try to run using the home network it will work fine. This is beacause, most of the organisation having firewall.
Note – This is very common issue that we face while connecting AWS or Azure services.
