[java] no suitable HttpMessageConverter found for response type

You can make up a class, RestTemplateXML, which extends RestTemplate. Then override doExecute(URI, HttpMethod, RequestCallback, ResponseExtractor<T>), and explicitly get response-headers and set content-type to application/xml.

Now Spring reads the headers and knows that it is `application/xml'. It is kind of a hack but it works.

public class RestTemplateXML extends RestTemplate {

  @Override
  protected <T> T doExecute(URI url, HttpMethod method, RequestCallback requestCallback,
        ResponseExtractor<T> responseExtractor) throws RestClientException {

     logger.info( RestTemplateXML.class.getSuperclass().getSimpleName() + ".doExecute() is overridden");

     Assert.notNull(url, "'url' must not be null");
     Assert.notNull(method, "'method' must not be null");
     ClientHttpResponse response = null;
     try {
        ClientHttpRequest request = createRequest(url, method);
        if (requestCallback != null) {
           requestCallback.doWithRequest(request);
        }
        response = request.execute();

        // Set ContentType to XML
        response.getHeaders().setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML);

        if (!getErrorHandler().hasError(response)) {
           logResponseStatus(method, url, response);
        }
        else {
           handleResponseError(method, url, response);
        }
        if (responseExtractor != null) {
           return responseExtractor.extractData(response);
        }
        else {
           return null;
        }
     }
     catch (IOException ex) {
        throw new ResourceAccessException("I/O error on " + method.name() +
              " request for \"" + url + "\":" + ex.getMessage(), ex);
     }
     finally {
        if (response != null) {
           response.close();
        }
     }

  }

  private void logResponseStatus(HttpMethod method, URI url, ClientHttpResponse response) {
     if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
        try {
           logger.debug(method.name() + " request for \"" + url + "\" resulted in " +
                 response.getRawStatusCode() + " (" + response.getStatusText() + ")");
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
           // ignore
        }
     }
  }

  private void handleResponseError(HttpMethod method, URI url, ClientHttpResponse response) throws IOException {
     if (logger.isWarnEnabled()) {
        try {
           logger.warn(method.name() + " request for \"" + url + "\" resulted in " +
                 response.getRawStatusCode() + " (" + response.getStatusText() + "); invoking error handler");
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
           // ignore
        }
     }
     getErrorHandler().handleError(response);
  }
}
