spring - Load balancer does not have available server for client

Question

I'm trying to use Feign client. Below is my feing client:

import com.eprogrammerz.examples.domain.Movie;
import org.springframework.cloud.netflix.feign.FeignClient;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;

/**
 * Created by Yogen on 12/26/2016.
 */
@FeignClient(name = "movie-api")
public interface MovieApi {
    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/movies/{id}")
    Movie getMovie(@PathVariable("id") Long id);
}

I'm calling it from simple service as below:

@Service
public class MovieService {

    @Autowired
    MovieApi movieApi;

    public Movie findMovie(Long id){
        Movie movieOfTheDay = movieApi.getMovie(id);
        return movieOfTheDay;
    }
}

My spring boot app is as below:

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.cloud.client.circuitbreaker.EnableCircuitBreaker;
import org.springframework.cloud.netflix.feign.EnableFeignClients;

@EnableFeignClients(basePackages = {"com.eprogrammerz.examples"})
@EnableCircuitBreaker
@SpringBootApplication
public class ClientAppApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(ClientAppApplication.class, args);
    }
}

build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
        springBootVersion = '1.4.3.RELEASE'
    }
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'

jar {
    baseName = 'client-app'
    version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
}
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    jcenter()
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/snapshot" }
    maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
}


dependencies {
    compile('org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-feign')
    // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.netflix.hystrix/hystrix-core
    compile('org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-hystrix')
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web"){
        exclude group: 'org.springframework.boot', module: 'spring-boot-starter-logging'
    }
    compileOnly('org.projectlombok:lombok')
    testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
}

dependencyManagement {
    imports {
        mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:Camden.BUILD-SNAPSHOT"
        mavenBom "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-parent:${springBootVersion}"
    }
}

I'm getting error as below:

Answer 1

After doing research, and with help of @Bloodysock, I found that I was missing registration of remote server in 'client-app' micro-service. The document is at Spring Cloud Netflix.

I used Ribbon without Eureka with configuration in application.yml in 'client-app' micro-service as:

movie-api:
  ribbon:
    listOfServers: http://localhost:8090
