Can @Retryable work without explicit @EnableRetry?

[lukaszungier]

Hey,
I've encountered a case when @Retryable works in of my projects without explicit declaration of @EnableRetry, but in some others - it doesn't work.

Is it possible? Could this be enabled in an implicit way? Or maybe it could depend on version of spring-retry or Spring Boot?

Thank you in advance.

The @Retryable cannot work by itself: the "hard" infrastructure logic to parse that annotation is indeed covered by the RetryConfiguration behind @EnableRetry.
There is no auto-configuration for that in Spring Boot (), so you need to dig your project for a cause.
