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

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)

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)

are these pathParams or pathVariable

I have to write an API call
#GET
#Path("/{settingName1, settingName2}")
public Response getNetworkSettingValue(#ApiParam(value = "Name") #QueryParam("name") String name,
#ApiParam(value = "City") #QueryParam("city") String city,
#ApiParam(value = "State") #QueryParam("state") String state) {}
here my doubt is how to get settingName1 & settingName2 values,
can write like
#ApiParam(value = "SettingName1") #PathParam("settingName1") String settingName1
or
#ApiParam(value = "SettingName1") #PathVariable("settingName1") String settingName1
in method declaration.
or
any other way to get those two values

By the #Path annotation, I assume you are using JAX-RS (Jersey, RESTEasy, etc). So it should be:
#ApiParam(value = "SettingName1") #PathParam("settingName1") String settingName1
If you were using Spring, it should be:
#ApiParam(value = "SettingName1") #PathVariable("settingName1") String settingName1

your annotations are mixed up with spring and swagger.
If u want to accesss pathvariables with spring than it have to be like
#RequestMapping(value = "/{settingName1}/{settingName2}", method = equestMethod.GET)
public Response getNetworkSettingValue(#ApiParam(value = "settingName1") #PathVariable final String settingName1,
#ApiParam(value = "settingName2") #PathVariable final String settingName2) {
...
return new Response();
}

Handle update forms in Spring MVC

What is the proper way to handle editing objects in Spring MVC. Let's say I have user object:
public class User {
private Integer id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
//Lets assume here are next 10 fields...
//getters and setters
}
Now in my controller I have GET and POST for url: user/edit/{id}
#RequestMapping(value = "/user/edit/{user_id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String editUser(#PathVariable Long user_id, Model model) {
model.addAttribute("userForm", userService.getUserByID(user_id));
return "/panels/user/editUser";
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/user/edit/{user_id}", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String editUser(#Valid #ModelAttribute("userForm") User userForm,
BindingResult result, #PathVariable String user_id, Model model) {
if(result.hasErrors()) {
User user = userService.getById(user_id);
user.updateFields(userForm);
}
userService.update(user);
}
Now the question is do I really need to get my user from database in POST method and update every field one by one in some update method or is there better way for that?
I am thinking about using #PathVariable for User and get User from database with converter and then in some way inject parameters from POST method into that object automatically. Something like this:
#RequestMapping(value = "/user/edit/{user}", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String editUser(#Valid #PathVariable("user") User userForm,
BindingResult result, Model model)
But when I try this I got error with BindingResults:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: An Errors/BindingResult argument is expected to be declared immediately after the model attribute, the #RequestBody or the #RequestPart arguments
Is there any easy way to create controller to handle objects editing or do I need to copy fields which could change one by one??
By the way, I can't use SessionAttributes because it causes problems for multiple tabs.

I believe you are sending "userForm" as a model attribute. If so try with following pattern,
#RequestMapping(value = "/user/edit/{user_id}", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String editUser(#PathVariable String user_id, #Valid #ModelAttribute("userForm") User userForm,
BindingResult result, Model model)
Thanks

You keep user id in a input hidden inside your edit form.
#RequestMapping(value = "/user/edit", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String editUser(#Valid #ModelAttribute("userForm") User userForm,
BindingResult result,Model model){
if(result.hasErrors()){
User user = userService.getById(userForm.getId());
user.updateFields(userForm);
}
userService.update(user);
return "redirect:.......";
}

spring mvc requestmapping dynamic url

How do I change my request mapping for dynamic urls? URLs might look like this:
http://zz.zz.zz.com:8080/webapp/p1/q9/e3/test?Id=2&maxrows=5
http://zz.zz.zz.com:8080/webapp/a1/b2/c3/test?Id=2&maxrows=5
http://zz.zz.zz.com:8080/webapp/x1/y2/z3/test?Id=2&maxrows=5
Here's the working controller syntax when the url is in this format:
http://zz.zz.zz.com:8080/webapp/test?Id=2&maxrows=5
#RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public #ResponseBody void test(
#RequestParam(value = "Id", required = true) String Id,
#RequestParam(value = "maxrows", required = true) int maxrows
) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Id: " + Id + " maxrows: " + maxrows);
}

Try this:
#RequestMapping(value = "/test/{param1}/{param2}/{param3}")
public #ResponseBody void test(
#RequestParam(value = "Id", required = true) String Id,
#RequestParam(value = "maxrows", required = true) int maxrows,
#PathVariable(value = "param1") String param1,
#PathVariable(value = "param2") String param2,
#PathVariable(value = "param3") String param3) {
...
}

Receive Parameter in spring MVC controller

#RequestMapping(value = "/Fin_AddCheckBook", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public #ResponseBody
JsonResponse addCoaCategory(
#RequestParam(value="checkbookNumber", required=true) String checkbookNumber,
#RequestParam(value="checkbookName", required=true) String checkbookName,
#RequestParam(value="startNumber", required=true) long startNumber,
#RequestParam(value="bankId", required=true) long bankId,
#RequestParam(value="currencyId", required=true) long currencyId,
#RequestParam(value="noOfLeves", required=true) int noOfLeves,
#RequestParam(value="alertAt", required=true) int alertAt,
#RequestParam(value="isActive", required=true) int isActive, Map map, Model model) {
I have two table in one form ! I want to receive first table elements by name by specifying #RequestParam(value="startNumber", required=true) long startNumber;
but
second table elements in Map i.e Map map
How to receive some parameter with name and all other element in map ?

Create your own objects :
public class MyMap {
private String myObject1; // dont forget that these names should be same as #RequestParam values
private Integer myObject2;
//setters and getters. they are must!!
}
public class MyMap2 {
private String my1;
private Integer my2;
//setters and getters. they are must!!
}
Now put this object as a parameter of your controller method.
#RequestMapping(value = "/Fin_AddCheckBook", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public #ResponseBody JsonResponse addCoaCategory(MyMap myMap, MyMap2 myMap2, BindingResult result) {
if (!result.hasErrors()) {
// work with myMap myMap2
}
}
