How to pass post array parameter in Spring MVC

Question

I was just wondering how to pass in post parameters such as following exercept from html options, normally i would get a array in language such as php (POST['param'][0]... would work i believe)

url?param=value1&param=value2&param=value3 

I tried:

@RequestMapping(value="/schedule", method = RequestMethod.POST) public void action(String[] param) 

But this doesn't work for some reason...

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

You can use this:

@RequestMapping(value="/schedule", method = RequestMethod.POST) public void action(@RequestParam(value = "param[]") String[] paramValues){...} 

it will retrieve all values (inside array paramValues) of parameter param (note the attribute value of RequestParam: it ends with [])

Answer 2

This should work:

@RequestMapping(value="/schedule", method = RequestMethod.POST) public void action(@RequestParam("param") String[] param)
