Can Spring MVC handle multivalue query parameter?

Question

Having this http://myserver/find-by-phones?phone=123&phone=345 request, is it possible to handle with something like this:

@Controller public class Controller{     @RequestMapping("/find-by-phones")     public String find(List<String> phones){        ...     } } 

Can Spring MVC some how convert multi-value param phones to a list of Strings (or other objects?

Thanks.

Answer 1

"Arrays" in @RequestParam are used for binding several parameters of the same name:

phone=val1&phone=val2&phone=val3 

-

public String method(@RequestParam(value="phone") String[] phoneArray){     .... } 

You can then convert it into a list using Arrays.asList(..) method

EDIT1:

As suggested by emdadul, latest version of spring can do like below as well:

public String method(@RequestParam(value="phone", required=false) List<String> phones){     .... }
