Passing an Array or List to @Pathvariable - Spring/Java
Solution 1:
GET http://localhost:8080/public/test/1,2,3,4
@RequestMapping(value="/test/{firstNameIds}", method=RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public String test(@PathVariable String[] firstNameIds)
{
// firstNameIds: [1,2,3,4]
return "Dummy";
}
(tested with Spring MVC 4.0.1)
Solution 2:
You should do something like this:
Call:
GET http://localhost:8080/public/test/1,2,3,4
Your controller:
@RequestMapping(value="/test/{firstNameIds}", method=RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public String test(@PathVariable List<Integer> firstNameIds) {
//Example: pring your params
for(Integer param : firstNameIds) {
System.out.println("id: " + param);
}
return "Dummy";
}
Solution 3:
if you want to use Square brackets - []
DELETE http://localhost:8080/public/test/[1,2,3,4]
@RequestMapping(value="/test/[{firstNameIds}]", method=RequestMethod.DELETE)
@ResponseBody
public String test(@PathVariable String[] firstNameIds)
{
// firstNameIds: [1,2,3,4]
return "Dummy";
}
(Tested with Spring MVC 4.1.1)
Solution 4:
Could do @PathVariable String ids, then parse the string.
So something like:
@RequestMapping(value="/test/{firstNameIds}", method=RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public String test(@PathVariable String firstNameIds)
{
String[] ids = firstNameIds.split(",");
return "Dummy";
}
You'd pass in:
http://localhost:8080/public/test/1,3,4,50
