RESTTemplate：无法反序列化START_OBJECT标记之外的对象实例

Question

我正在试用Spring中的RestTemplate。我试图读入这个JSON数据：JSON数据。数据是一个键值对，其中键是“GeoNames”，值是“GeoName”对象数组。

我有一个Geoname类来处理输入。这个类中还有getter和setter。然后，我有一个应用程序类，它只运行一个main方法来调用一个RestTemplate对象：

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Geoname {
    private String name;
    private long lat;
    private long lng;
    private String countrycode;
}

public class App 
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        String jsonUrl = "http://api.geonames.org/citiesJSON?north=44.1&south=-9.9&east=-22.4&west=55.2&lang=de&username=demo";

        RestTemplate template = new RestTemplate();
        ResponseEntity<Geoname[]> entity = template.getForEntity(jsonUrl, Geoname[].class);
        List<Geoname> data = Arrays.asList(entity.getBody());

        System.out.print("Success!");
    }
}

好了，我现在有了这个新类，它现在对JSON数据发出GET请求。但是，在调试之后，ResponseEntity正文将数组设置为NULL。我需要手动在Geonames中实例化数组吗？

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Geonames {
    @JsonProperty("geonames")
    Geoname[] geonames;

    public void setGeonames(Geonames[] geonames) {
        this.geonames = geonames;
    }

    public void getGeonames() {
        return geonames;
    }
}

解决了。结果显示，空值是因为JSON链接有每小时最大点击量限制。通过在网站上创建我自己的帐户，api给了我自己的限制。因此，响应体随后填充了数据。
