using spring @PathVariable to extract and parse parameters

Question

I found THIS useful thread explaining how to use spring to extract the variables from path to the Map<String,String>. I would like to go even further and parse those variables into type using spring, but unfortunately i'm unable to do so.

format: "/mypath/[{varaible}]/something"

input: "/mypath/[0.0,0.1,0.2]/something"

output: Double[] myArray

Is it possible to use spring functionality for this?

spring only provides parameters from original request in string format at the moment. I would say no, unless you rewrite part of the core functionality — Andrii Plotnikov, Apr 28 '17 at 10:57

@SalmanKazmi yes, i'm trying to parse an array, as they do in RequestMapping, but i don't want it as endpoint. please check post i mentioned in question, thank you :) — Martin Brisiak, Apr 28 '17 at 14:02

I think you can use this syntax (not tested, but quite sure...):

@RequestMapping("/mypath/{doubles}/something")
public String aControllerMethod(@PathVariable("doubles") Double[] arrayOfDoubles) { ... }

and executing the request this way:

/mypath/0.0,0.1,0.2/something
