How to convert webclient response to ResponseEntity?

Question

I am able to convert WebClient response to Response Entity with exchange() method which is deprecated now.

Please suggest other way of achieving the same result. Below is my code.

public ResponseEntity<TestClass> getTestDetails() {
            ClientResponse clientResponse = webClientBuilder.build()
                    .get()
                    .uri("http://localhost:9090/test")
                    .headers(httpHeaders -> {
                        httpHeaders.add(Constants.ACCEPT, Constants.APPLICATION_JSON);
                        })
                    .exchange()
                    .block();
            
            return clientResponse.toEntity(TestClass.class).block();
}

its in the documentation https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/reference/html/web-reactive.html#webflux-client-exchange — Toerktumlare, Jun 14 '21 at 19:27

I did it in the following way:

   public ResponseEntity<TestClass> getTestDetails() {
        return webClientBuilder.build()
                .get()
                .uri("http://localhost:9090/test")
                .headers(httpHeaders -> {
                    httpHeaders.add(Constants.ACCEPT, Constants.APPLICATION_JSON);
                    })
                .retrieve()
                .toEntity(TestClass.class)
                .block();
    }
