Generics with Spring RESTTemplate

Question

I have a class like that:

public class Wrapper {

 private String message;
 private T data;

 public String getMessage() {
    return message;
 }

          


        

Answer 1

The only thing I think you could do is creating a new class that extends Wrapper and uses model as a generic.

class WrapperWithModel extends Wrapper{};

WrapperWithModel response = restTemplate.getForObject(URL, WrapperWithModel.class);

It's not the best solution, but at least you won't have to unmarshall manually the response.
