PROBLEM

When invoking a web service using RestTemplate:-

restTemplate.getForObject("http://server/api", MyBean[].class));

… the following exception occurs:-

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.web.client.RestClientException: 
Could not extract response: no suitable HttpMessageConverter found for response 
type [class [LMyBean;] and content type [application/json;charset=UTF-8]
	at org.springframework.web.client.HttpMessageConverterExtractor.extractData(HttpMessageConverterExtractor.java:110)
	at org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate.doExecute(RestTemplate.java:572)
	at org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate.execute(RestTemplate.java:530)
	at org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate.getForObject(RestTemplate.java:237)

SOLUTION

If the content type is JSON, add the following dependency:-

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
    <version>2.6.0</version>
</dependency>
