title: spring-cloud with ribbon/eureka/hystrix using restTemplate unable to set connect/read timeouts
body: <p>I have built a spring boot application using spring-cloud and want to use RestTemplate within my client application (which is also a microservice) so that I can continue using mockMvc for integration testing.   I am a using the default ribbon/eureka/hystrix client setup with my client microservice and eureka client within the service I'm calling.  This is working (once I figured out that serviceIds are what identifies a service endpoint within restTemplate).  My problem is that I cant seem to change the restTemplate read nor connection timeout from what seems like a default of 300ms.  </p>
  
  <p>Details on the call:</p>
  
  <pre><code>`@Configuration
   @EnableAutoConfiguration
   @ComponentScan
   @EnableConfigurationProperties
   @EnableHystrix
   @EnableEurekaClient
  public class Application { ... public static void main(String[] args) {} ... }
  
  @Component
  class EricComponentToDoHystrix {   // apparently this has to be a component for hystrix to work btw
      @Autowired
      RestTemplate restTemplate;
      ..
      @HystrixCommand(fallbackMethod="defaultRestTemplateCall")
      public void doRestTemplateCall() 
          ResponseEntity&lt;String&gt; result = restTemplate.getForEntity("http://someservice/doSomething", String.class);  // actually make a call
      ..
      }
  }`
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>with an application.properties containing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>spring:
    cloud:

        serviceIds:

  # disable Ribbon's cicruit breaker and rely soley on Hystrix.

  <p>Anybody know what properties I need so set to modify restTemplate's default timeouts?  Documentation is very light on this subject and it seems the code just recently even allowed restTemplate to be used against ribbon/eureka spring boot defaults.  Perhaps this has not been built yet.</p>
