How to pass string array to a @PathVariable in Java springs

Question

I have below API to be tested. Not getting solution to pass string array to requestors. Tried with comma seperated values, values with in [] etc.

@RequestMapping(value = "/v10/{user}/alerts/alertguids/{requestors}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    @ResponseBody
    @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
    public String[] retrieveRunnableAlertGuidsByRequestors(@RequestParam(value = "productId") final String productId,
                                                           @PathVariable final String[] requestors)

Below URIs are not working: "/alertguids/"+"WestClipNext,Master"+ "?productId=" + PRODUCT; "/alertguids/"+"[WestClipNext,Master]"+ "?productId=" + PRODUCT; — Rajesh Bhat, Nov 04 '16 at 07:58
Just use comma seperated values and get rid of brackets: `/alertguids/WestClipNext,Master?productId=" + PRODUCT` — nickmesi, Nov 04 '16 at 08:09
@UsermujM: No, as I said in above comment, comma seperated values won't work. It considers the whole string as single value instead considering it as multiple values. — Rajesh Bhat, Nov 04 '16 at 08:11

I'm not sure with @PathVariable but you can use the @RequestParam.

eg:

@RequestMapping(value = "/v10/{user}/alerts/alertguids/{requestors}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    @ResponseBody
    @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
    public String[] retrieveRunnableAlertGuidsByRequestors(@RequestParam(value = "productId") final String productId,
                                                           @RequestParam(value = "param[]")  final String[] requestors)
