java - How to extract HTTP status code from the RestTemplate call to a URL? -

I am using RestTemplate to call an HTTP call for my service A simple JSON response gives me that I do not need to parse that JSON. I

I'm mapping on String.class and the actual JSON response < / Code> returning. As a string

  RestTemplate restTemplate = New RestTemplate (); String response = restTemplate.getForObject (url, String.class); Return feedback;   
 The question now is -  
 After attempting to remove the  HTTP status code  after hitting the URL I am using HTTP from the above code How can I remove the status code? Do I need to make any changes in the way I'm doing this now?  
  Update: -   
 This is what I have tried to do and I am able to get back feedback and status codes too. But do I always need to set the  HttpHeaders  and  unit  objects as below?  
  RestTemplate restTemplate = New RestTemplate (); // And for my use case do I need this JSON media type? HTTP header header = new HTTP header (); headers.setContentType (MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON); // my entity httpTPNT & lt; Object & gt; set on. Unit = new HttpEntity & lt; Object & gt; (Header); ResponseEntity & LT; String & gt; Out = restTemplate.exchange (URL, HttpMethod.GET, Entity, String.class); Println (out.getBody ()); Println (out.getStatusCode ()); A couple of questions - do I need to call  MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON  because I am just calling the URL that returns a response, it can either return JSON or XML or simple string.   
 
 
 Use the methods that come back. This gives you access to the status line and header (and clearly to the body).
