 ResponseEntity<List<MyBean>> response = template.exchange("http://example.com",HttpMethod.GET, null, myBean);
 

Parameters:

url - the URL

method - the HTTP method (GET, POST, etc)

requestEntity - the entity (headers and/or body) to write to the request, may be null

responseType - the type of the return value

uriVariables - the variables to expand in the template

Returns:

the response as entity wrapped in a Future

Throws:

RestClientException
