+If you're using the http://docs.spring.io/spring-hateoas/docs/current/reference/html/#client.traverson[Traverson] library
+it's enough for you to inject a `RestTemplate` as a bean into your Traverson object. Since `RestTemplate`
+is already intercepted, you will get full support of tracing in your client. Below you can find a pseudo code
+of how to do that:
+
+[source,java]
+----
+@Autowired RestTemplate restTemplate;
+
+Traverson traverson = new Traverson(URI.create("http://some/address"),
+    MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8).setRestOperations(restTemplate);
+// use Traverson
