我从这个帖子https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-8263找到了工作。

基于这篇文章，你可以返回一个类似这样的列表:

ResponseEntity<? extends ArrayList<User>> responseEntity = restTemplate.getForEntity(restEndPointUrl, (Class<? extends ArrayList<User>>)ArrayList.class, userId);

这里提到了3种检索对象列表的方法。所有这些都将完美地工作

@RequestMapping(value = "/emp2", produces = "application/json")
public List<Employee> getEmp2()
{
    HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
    headers.setAccept(Arrays.asList(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON));
    HttpEntity<String> entity = new HttpEntity<String>(headers);
    ResponseEntity<List<Employee>> response = restTemplate.exchange(
            "http://hello-server/rest/employees", HttpMethod.GET,entity, 
    new ParameterizedTypeReference<List<Employee>>() {});
    return response.getBody();
}

(或)

@RequestMapping(value = "/emp3", produces = "application/json")
public List<Employee> getEmp3()
{
    Employee[] empArray = restTemplate.getForObject("http://hello-server/rest/employees", Employee[].class);
    List<Employee> emp= Arrays.asList(empArray);
    return emp;
}

(或)

    @RequestMapping(value = "/emp4", produces = "application/json")
public Employee[] getEmp4()
{
    ResponseEntity<Employee[]> responseEntity = restTemplate.getForEntity("http://hello-server/rest/employees", Employee[].class);
    Employee[] empList = responseEntity.getBody();
    //MediaType contentType = responseEntity.getHeaders().getContentType();
    //HttpStatus statusCode = responseEntity.getStatusCode();
    return  empList;
}

Employee.class

public class Employee {

private Integer id;
private String name;
private String Designation;
private String company;

//getter setters and toString()

}

也许这样……

ResponseEntity<Object[]> responseEntity = restTemplate.getForEntity(urlGETList, Object[].class);
Object[] objects = responseEntity.getBody();
MediaType contentType = responseEntity.getHeaders().getContentType();
HttpStatus statusCode = responseEntity.getStatusCode();

RequestMapping的控制器代码

@RequestMapping(value="/Object/getList/", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody List<Object> findAllObjects() {

    List<Object> objects = new ArrayList<Object>();
    return objects;
}

ResponseEntity是HttpEntity的扩展，它添加了HttpStatus状态码。在RestTemplate和@Controller方法中使用。 在RestTemplate中，该类由getForEntity()和exchange()返回。

考虑一下这个答案，特别是如果你想在列表中使用泛型 Spring RestTemplate和泛型类型ParameterizedTypeReference集合，如List<T>

你可以为每个条目创建POJO，

class BitPay{
private String code;
private String name;
private double rate;
}

然后使用BitPay列表的ParameterizedTypeReference，你可以使用:

RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
ResponseEntity<List<Employee>> response = restTemplate.exchange(
  "https://bitpay.com/api/rates",
  HttpMethod.GET,
  null,
  new ParameterizedTypeReference<List<BitPay>>(){});
List<Employee> employees = response.getBody();

我在这里遇到的最大问题是构建将RestTemplate匹配到兼容类所需的Object结构。幸运的是，我找到了http://www.jsonschema2pojo.org/(在浏览器中获得JSON响应并将其作为输入)，我非常推荐这个功能!
