Serialize and De-serialize ResponseEntity with jackson objectMapper

Question

I have a ResponseEntity<String> object to be serialized and un-serialized. I am having challenge in trying to de-serialize the data. Below are the code-snippet of the data.

private void marshalCompressedFileForResponseEntity(ResponseEntity<String> responseEntity, Path filenamePath) throws IOException {
       
            try (OutputStream fileOutput = azureFs.create(filenamePath);
                 GZIPOutputStream gzipOutputStream = new GZIPOutputStream(fileOutput)) {
                mapper.writerFor(ResponseEntity.class).writeValue(gzipOutputStream,responseEntity); 
               //Mostly Incorrect - since type reference is at ResponseEntity.class
            }
        } finally {
            cleanup(filenamePath);
        }
    }

Now the question is how do I de-serialize them. I tried the below sample code - but the editor throws obvious error.

public ResponseEntity<String> unMarshalLogForResponseEntity(Path path) throws IOException {
        try (InputStream logFileInput = azureFs.open(path); GZIPInputStream gzipInputStream = new GZIPInputStream(logFileInput)) {
            return mapper.readValue(gzipInputStream,ResponseEntity.class);
            // You cannot provide ResponseEntity<String>.class
        } catch (Exception e) {
            logger.error("Error", e);
            throw e;
        }
    }

Though note here that writerFor is again done at ResponseEntity.class and not for ResponseEntity<String>.class. I have tried multiple type - TypeReference etc. But none of them seems to work.
