Spring boot not complaining about two beans with the same name

Question

I\'m having the following configuration where I have two Spring beans with the same name from two different configuration classes.

import org.springframework.con         


        

Answer 1

You need to name that beans so:

@Configuration
public class RestTemplateConfiguration {

    @Bean(name="bean1")
    public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
        return new RestTemplate();
    }
}

And

@Configuration 
public class OtherRestTemplateConfiguration {

    @Bean(name="bean2")
    public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
        return new RestTemplate();
    }
}

Answer 2

One of the beans is overriding other one because you use same name. If different names were used as @paweł-głowacz suggested, then in case of using

@Autowired
private RestTemplate myRestTemplate;

spring will complain because it finds two beans with same RestTemplate type and doesnt know which to use. Then you apply @Primary to one of them.
