Spring/json: Convert a typed collection like List

Question

I\'m trying to marshal a list: List objects via the Spring Rest Template.

I can pass along simple Pojo objects, but I can\'t fi

Answer 1

In Spring 3.2 there is now support for generic types using the new exchange()-methods on the RestTemplate:

 ParameterizedTypeReference> typeRef = new ParameterizedTypeReference>() {};
 ResponseEntity> response = template.exchange("http://example.com", HttpMethod.GET, null, typeRef);

Works like a charm!
