how to get link when we call a hateos in spring rest??

Please make your question a little bit clearer.

There's no such thing as "a hateos". It's HATEOAS and it's an abstract concept and not "something you can call".

What link do you want to get? From where?

Well, it depends on the format in which your REST API sends its responses. For instance, if you follow the quick start here, you will get a response from the server similar to:
{  "content":"Hello, World!",  "_links":{    "self":{      "href":"http://localhost:8080/greeting?name=World"    }  } }
You can create a very simple JavaScript client that displays the content, and adds a navigation bar that contains a home button that links to the root page, a refresh button that links to the "self" url, and additional buttons for any other links that may appear in the "_links" property.

Okay, so what's stopping you? If you know whether the response is going to be in JSON or XML or something you can use the appropriate parser, then look for the _links property and display them in a component that handles navigation for you.
