I am using spring-data-rest to expose REST API. One of my search method returns list of entities. The repository and rest response as follows

```
List<Order> findByKeywordContaining(String keyword);

```

**Search Response:**

```
{  
   "_embedded":{  
      "orders":[  
         {  
            "keyword":"Iron mattress",
            "name":"Hostel",
            "_links":{  
               "self":{  
                  "href":"http://localhost:8081/orders/2"
               },
               "order":{  
                  "href":"http://localhost:8081/orders/2"
               }
            }
         },
         {  
            "keyword":"Iron",
            "name":"Weat strong",
            "_links":{  
               "self":{  
                  "href":"http://localhost:8081/orders/40"
               },
               "order":{  
                  "href":"http://localhost:8081/orders/40"
               }
            }
         }
      ]
   },
   "_links":{  
      "self":{  
         "href":"http://localhost:8081/orders/search/findByKeywordContaining?keyword=iron"
      }
   }
}

```

Now I am using RestTemplate to consume this response to process in client side as follows

```
List<Order> orders = restOperations.exchange(new URI(url), HttpMethod.GET, null, new ParameterizedTypeReference<Resource<List<Order>>>() {}).getBody().getContent();

```

The above code works fine for a single object in response, but if the response contains multiple objects. The code throws the following error

```
org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException: Could not read JSON: Unrecognized field "_embedded" (class org.springframework.hateoas.Resource), not marked as ignorable (3 known properties: , "links", "content", "page"])
at [Source: sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection$HttpInputStream@6a2bc870; line: 2, column: 18] (through reference chain: org.springframework.hateoas.Resource["_embedded"]); nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException: Unrecognized field "_embedded" (class org.springframework.hateoas.Resource), not marked as ignorable (3 known properties: , "links", "content", "page"])

```

What I am missing here? How to consume the above response as a List?

**Order.java**

```
public class Order {
private int id;
private String name;
private String keyword;
private Agent agent;

public int getId() {
    return id;
}

public void setId(int id) {
    this.id = id;
}

public String getName() {
    return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
}

public String getKeyword() {
    return keyword;
}

public void setKeyword(String keyword) {
    this.keyword = keyword;
}

public Agent getAgent() {
    return agent;
}

public void setAgent(Agent agent) {
    this.agent = agent;
}

```
