RestTemplate - postForObject() method [SPR-5836]

[spring-projects-issues]

Graham Zabel opened SPR-5836 and commented

Hi,

Using RestTemplate, the only way to execute a POST and process the response is to use execute() providing custom Callback and Extractor classes, which seems to be very elaborate. Could we have a new convenience method, perhaps postForObject() that does something like this:

public <R> R postForObject(String url, Object request, Class<R> responseType) throws RestClientException {
	return execute(url, HttpMethod.POST, 
				new PostPutCallback(request), new HttpMessageConverterExtractor<R>(responseType));
}

thanks,
Graham
