Is it possible to return a ResponseEntity<T> from a resolver

[naveen4801]

I'm using graphql-java with spring boot.
My schema looks like this.
type Query{
userById(id: String): User
}
type User {
id: String
name: String
email: String
}
I have a QueryResolver class that implements GraphQLQueryResolver. My get method inside this class looks like this.
public User getUserById(String id) {
return someClient.getUserById(id).getBody(); //getUserById inside someClient returns a ResponseEntity
}
What I need inside my QueryResolver is to return a ResponseEntity instead of a User. So it'll look like the code below
public ResponseEntity getUserById(String id) {
return someClient.getUserById(id);
}
The above code returns a schema error saying org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity cannot be mapped to a GraphQL type! Since GraphQL-Java deals with erased types at runtime, only non-parameterized classes can represent a GraphQL type. What does this mean? Is it possible to return a ResponseEntity<> from a resolver?

Is it possible to return a ResponseEntity<> from a resolver?

No that is not possible. Could you elaborate why returning User directly does not work for your use case?

The only other type that is supported as a return value is DataFetcherResult.

Currently We are migrating REST services into GraphQL , Since we were retrieving errors and responses in ResponseEntity type from AOP, so it will be more flexible to get response from GraghQL in ResponposeEntity type

can you please elaborate how can i change this into a DataFetcherResult from ResponseEntity

public  DataFetcherResult<SomeData> getUserById(){
    return DataFetcherResult.newResult().data(data).error(error).build();
}
