title: Passing List of Integers to GET REST API
body: <p>I wanted to fetch the List of Entities from database at Front end.
  So I have written POST REST HTTP call in Spring MVC. </p>
  
  <p>But I read the HTTP documentation which says whenever you have to retrieve data from database prefer GET call.
  So, Is it there is any I can replace the POST call to GET call from angular JS and pass list of Integers.
  But, GET HTTP has many drawbacks like : the length of URL is limited.Considering the case where we have to fetch 1000 entities from database.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Please suggest me the possible way to get the entities or write GET REST API in Spring MVC for list of integers(refers to ID's of Entities).</strong></p>
  
  <p>For Example : Consider there are 100 books in book table, But I want only few books, say id : 5,65,42,10,53,87,34,23. 
   Thats why I am passing this List of Id's in a List of Integer in POST call. </p>
  
  <p>Currently stuck how to convert this to GET call. In Short, how to pass List of Integers through GET REST call.</p>
