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 :)


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.


Subscribing what basil said in a comment to the question itself, if method = RequestMethod.GET you can use @RequestParam List<String> groupVal.

Then calling the service with the list of params is as simple as:

API_URL?groupVal=kkk,ccc,mmm

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

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

Hope it helps!
