SpringTemplate no suitable HttpMessageConverter found for response type

Question

I am getting the following error while using spring rest template but i have defined jackson for json responses.

As well when I query to the url with rest client i get a good response.

org.springframework.web.client.RestClientException: Could not extract response: no suitable HttpMessageConverter found for response type [tripadvisor.TripAdvisorResponse<java.util.List<model.external.tripadvisor.TripAdvisorLocation>>] and content type [text/javascript;charset=utf-8]

rest template configuration:

@Bean
public ClientHttpRequestFactory httpRequestFactory() {
    return new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory(httpClient());
}
@Bean
public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
    RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate(httpRequestFactory());
    List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters = restTemplate.getMessageConverters();
    for (HttpMessageConverter<?> converter : converters) {
        if (converter instanceof MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter) {
            MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter jsonConverter = (MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter) converter;
            jsonConverter.setObjectMapper(new ObjectMapper());
        }
    }
    return restTemplate;
}
@Bean
public HttpClient httpClient() {
    PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager connectionManager = new PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager();
    CloseableHttpClient closeableHttpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().setConnectionManager(connectionManager).build();
    connectionManager.setMaxTotal(DEFAULT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS);
    connectionManager.setDefaultMaxPerRoute(DEFAULT_MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_ROUTE);
    connectionManager.setMaxPerRoute(new HttpRoute(new HttpHost("facebook.com")), 20);
    connectionManager.setMaxPerRoute(new HttpRoute(new HttpHost("twitter.com")), 20);
    connectionManager.setMaxPerRoute(new HttpRoute(new HttpHost("linkedin.com")), 20);
    connectionManager.setMaxPerRoute(new HttpRoute(new HttpHost("viadeo.com")), 20);
    connectionManager.setMaxPerRoute(new HttpRoute(new HttpHost("api.tripadvisor.com")), 20);
    return closeableHttpClient;
}

Default media type for MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverters is

/**
 * Construct a new {@code BindingJacksonHttpMessageConverter}.
 */
public MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter() {
    super(new MediaType("application", "json", DEFAULT_CHARSET));
}

You can specify media type for MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter in your bean definition, like this

@Bean
public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
    RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate(httpRequestFactory());
    List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters = restTemplate.getMessageConverters();
    for (HttpMessageConverter<?> converter : converters) {
        if (converter instanceof MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter) {
            MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter jsonConverter = (MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter) converter;
            jsonConverter.setObjectMapper(new ObjectMapper());
            jsonConverter.setSupportedMediaTypes(ImmutableList.of(new MediaType("application", "json", MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter.DEFAULT_CHARSET), new MediaType("text", "javascript", MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter.DEFAULT_CHARSET)));
        }
    }
    return restTemplate;
}

or using wildcard

jsonConverter.setSupportedMediaTypes(ImmutableList.of(new MediaType("*", "json", MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter.DEFAULT_CHARSET), new MediaType("*", "javascript", MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter.DEFAULT_CHARSET)));
