How to consume Page response using Spring RestTemplate

Question

I\'m using spring data (mongoDb) and I\'ve got my repository:

public interface StoriesRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository {}
<

I know this thread is a little old, but hopefully someone will benefit from this.

@Ali Dehghani's answer is good, except that it re-implements what PageImpl has already done. I considered this to be rather needless. I found a better solution by creating a class that extends PageImpl and specifies a @JsonCreator constructor:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonCreator;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
import com.company.model.HelperModel;
import org.springframework.data.domain.PageImpl;
import org.springframework.data.domain.PageRequest;

import java.util.List;

public class HelperPage extends PageImpl {

    @JsonCreator
    // Note: I don't need a sort, so I'm not including one here.
    // It shouldn't be too hard to add it in tho.
    public HelperPage(@JsonProperty("content") List content,
                      @JsonProperty("number") int number,
                      @JsonProperty("size") int size,
                      @JsonProperty("totalElements") Long totalElements) {
        super(content, new PageRequest(number, size), totalElements);
    }
}

Then:

HelperPage page = restTemplate.getForObject(url, HelperPage.class);

This is the same as creating a CustomPageImpl class but allows us to take advantage of all the code that's already in PageImpl.
