Can not deserialize Spring Boot WebClient response to Java POJO

I have an API which responds with the following JSON data

{"message": "...","status": "OK","data": {"host": "10.200.100.1","port": 8080  }}

I am trying to request this API and store the result into a ConfigServiceResponse Java class.

@Datapublic class ConfigServiceResponse {  private String message;  private String status;  private SampleHostConfig data;}@Datapublic class SampleHostConfig {  private String host;  private int port;}

Here is the code that I am using to make a request

import org.springframework.web.reactive.function.client.WebClient;WebClient webClient = WebClient.builder().baseUrl(baseUrl).build();webClient  .get()  .uri("/config?configId=" + configId +"&configVersion=" + configVersion)  .retrieve()  .bodyToMono(ConfigServiceResponse.class)  .block();

I am getting the following error when i am executing the above code

Caused by: org.springframework.web.reactive.function.UnsupportedMediaTypeException: Content type 'application/json' not supported for bodyType=com.w3worker.ConfigServiceResponse

While if i try to deserialise it into String, it’s working fine. Not able to understand, what is causing the issue here.
