title: Failed to instantiate [java.util.List]: Specified class is an interface in GET request
body: <p>In my spring boot REST API application, I need to handle HTTP <code>GET</code> by accepting a strongly-typed list as my input:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@RestController
  public class CusttableController {
  
      @RequestMapping(value="/custtable", method=RequestMethod.GET)
      public List&lt;MyObject&gt; getCusttableRecords(List&lt;Custtable&gt; customers) {...}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This gives me this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [java.util.List]: Specified class is an interface</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>What is the proper way for me to accept a strongly-typed List in Spring Boot, in a <code>GET</code> request?</p>
