Description

GenericEntity is JAX-RS 1.0 class which can be used to write explicit collection or other generic class instances, example:

 
GenericEntity<List<Book>> genericEntity = 
            new GenericEntity<List<Book>>(books) {
            };

or

class Representation<T> {
 private T data;
 public Representation(T data) {
     this.data = data;
 }
}

Representation<Book> rep = new Representation<Book>(new Book());

GenericEntity<Representation<Book>> genericEntity2 = 
   new GenericEntity<Representation<Book>>(rep, Book.class);

This is supported on the server, when writing responses, but not with WebClient
