REST client restTemplate can't get Collection of objects

Question

I use Spring restTemplate. I made a REST service and client as unit test in separated application. I have method that return List of users and method for user creating:

@GET
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON,
        MediaType.TEXT_XML })
@Path("/all")
public Response getAllUsers() {
    List<User> list = dao.getAll();
    GenericEntity<List<User>> result = new GenericEntity<List<User>>(list) {
    };
    return Response.status(Status.OK).entity(result).build();
}

If I request to show me all users in browser, it displays to me xml. It's OK. But, when I try to use this:

@Test
public void testGetAll() {
    List list = new RestTemplate().getForObject(URL + "all", List.class);
    System.out.println(list);
}

I got

WARNING: GET request for "http://localhost:8080/REST/all" resulted in 500 (Internal Server Error); invoking error handler

I tried to debug this. No exceptions during method works. And browser shows me the xml with users. What can be wrong?

Also, I want to know, how I can get status code or message from template object (for test)?

Thanks for your answers.

EDITED:

I modified my test method:

@Test
public void testGetAll() {
    RestTemplate template = new RestTemplate();

    List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> messageConverters = new    ArrayList<HttpMessageConverter<?>>();
    Jaxb2RootElementHttpMessageConverter jaxbMessageConverter = new Jaxb2RootElementHttpMessageConverter();
    List<MediaType> mediaTypes = new ArrayList<MediaType>();
    mediaTypes.add(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML);
    jaxbMessageConverter.setSupportedMediaTypes(mediaTypes);
    messageConverters.add(jaxbMessageConverter);

    template.setMessageConverters(messageConverters);
    List list = template.getForObject(URL + "all",
            ArrayList.class);
    System.out.println(list);
}

And I got exception:

org.springframework.web.client.RestClientException: Could not extract response: no suitable HttpMessageConverter found for response type [class java.util.ArrayList] and content type [application/xml]

Answer 1

maybe this way ....

RestTemplate template = new RestTemplate(true);


ResponseEntity<TblGps[]> responseEntity = restTemplate.getForEntity(urlGETList, TblGps[].class);

TblGps[]=responseEntity.getBody();
