Spring Retry is a Java library providing declarative (@Retryable/@Recover annotations) and imperative (RetryTemplate) retry support for Spring applications, with configurable backoff policies and exception-based retry rules. It has been archived and superseded by the resilience features built into Spring Framework 7.

Use cases

• retry failed remote calls in a spring service
• add automatic retry with exponential backoff to flaky operations
• declarative retry annotations for spring beans
• recover gracefully after retries are exhausted
• retry transient database or network errors in spring batch jobs
• imperative retry template for explicit retry logic

When to choose

• you are on an older Spring stack (pre-Framework 7) that already uses Spring Batch or Spring Integration
• you need annotation-driven retry with AOP in a Spring application
• you want a battle-tested retry abstraction with pluggable backoff policies

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project on Spring Framework 7 or later, which has built-in resilience features
• you need a non-Spring Java project and prefer a standalone retry library
• you require actively maintained software with ongoing support
