How can I retrieve many values of a same field in a GET request

Question

I have the json to retrieve below: { "name": "João", "name": "Maria", "name": "José" } I made this way: ResponseEntity> responseEntityUsers = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.GET, requestEntity, Users.class); But I got error. My Users class is below: public class Users { private String name; public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } }

You need to design your JSON for this class:
[
    {
    "name":"João"
    },{
    "name":"Maria"
    },{
    "name":"José"
    }
]

You need to design your JSON correctly, it is not well-formed JSON. It should be using an array of values for a specific attribute, like this:
{
  “names”: [“João”, “Maria”, "José"]
}

Notice that I have propositionally changed the attribute name to "names". Which is a good practice when designing your JSON to transport your data.
That change also will impact your Model class, that instead of String must have a String array:
public class Users {

private String[] names;

public String[] getNames() {
        return names;
     }

public void setNames(String[] names) {
       this.names = names;
     }
}

I wish you the best, cheers!
