How to execute rate-limiter conditionally on method and path in V0.8.X

[hadson172]

Hi, I am using bucket4j-spring-boot-starter version 0.8.1. I wanted to restrict one of the rate limiters to method and path, how can i do this?

In v 0.9.0 there is execute_predicates but in v.0.8 there is no such. So at first I wanted to do something like this:
bucket4j.filters[0].rate-limits[0].execute-condition="@securityService.isMySecurePath()"

But all what i am getting out ot this is

Caused by: org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionFailedException: Failed to convert from type [java.lang.String] to type [java.lang.Boolean] for value '@securityService.isMySecurePath()'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ...

Any advices?

Edit:
Or maybe there is better solution for my use case. I wanted to introduce two rate limiters. One of all paths (500 req/s) and additionally one of my endpoints will handle (50req/s).

You're isMySecurePath must return a boolean not string. You may add the string which should match the current URI

public boolean isMySecurePath(String pathToMatch) {
  return pathToMatch.matches(currentUri);
}

Alternatively you can check the request uri directly and also the request method (Havn't tried it):

execute-condition: getRequestURI().matches("/mysite") and getMethod().equals("GET")

The reason this did not worked was because most of documentation examples had execute-condition's value wrapped in double-quotes like here:

https://github.com/MarcGiffing/bucket4j-spring-boot-starter/blob/v0.8/examples/ehcache/src/main/resources/application.yml#L43

But it seems that it can't be a string and it can't be double-quoted.

So instead of this:

bucket4j.filters[0].rate-limits[0].execute-condition="@securityService.isMySecurePath()"

it should be rather this:

bucket4j.filters[0].rate-limits[0].execute-condition=@securityService.isMySecurePath()

You're comparing the property configuration with the yaml configuration. I think for the yaml you've to double-quote the execute-condition.
