Binding a list in @RequestParam

java spring data-binding collections spring-mvc

Or you could just do it that way:

public String controllerMethod(@RequestParam(value="myParam[]") String[] myParams){    ....}

That works for example for forms like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="myParam[]" value="myVal1" /><input type="checkbox" name="myParam[]" value="myVal2" />

This is the simplest solution :)

java spring data-binding collections spring-mvc

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

myparam=myValue1&myparam=myValue2&myparam=myValue3

If you need to bind @ModelAttribute-style indexed parameters, I guess you need @ModelAttribute anyway.

java spring data-binding collections spring-mvc

Just complementing what Donal Fellows said, you can use List with @RequestParam

public String controllerMethod(@RequestParam(value="myParam") List<ObjectToParse> myParam){....}

Hope it helps!
