Spring 3 - Restful - passing ArrayList<object> to the controller

[saslani]

Hi,

I am using RESTful web service to make a call to my controller and I need to pass in an ArrayList<Product> that's been populated in a hidden field the jsp.

@RequestMapping(value = "/find", method = POST)
public ModelAndView displayMyProductsXXX(@RequestParam("products") ArrayList productList) throws IOException {
.
.
.
}

I tried @ModelAttribute and it didn't work. So far the @RequestParam ("products") ArrayList productList returns a list of products but the type is String instead of Product

Can anyone please help me to find out the best way to implement this?

Thanks

Have you setup a custom converter to convert the string into your Product object.

Here is a article that will explain what you need.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Yes I have the converter, but unable to receive a parameter in a form of list or array from the jsp.
