Send array of objects from angular to Spring

Question

I have tried to send it like this:

$scope.listDms = []
$http.post('url?listDomain='+$scope.listDms);

in spring controller

@RequestMapping('url')
public getDomains(@RequestParam List<Domain> listDomain){
...
}

but the app can't bind from String to List

Yes, It can't. What is your question? – talex Oct 04 '16 at 15:39 — talex, Oct 04 '16 at 15:39

Send list in body of your request. – talex Oct 04 '16 at 15:42 — talex, Oct 04 '16 at 15:42
Since it is post request you can send it in request body – Gangadhar Jannu Oct 04 '16 at 15:44 — Gangadhar Jannu, Oct 04 '16 at 15:44
You should send it in the POST body – EpicPandaForce Oct 04 '16 at 17:16 — EpicPandaForce, Oct 04 '16 at 17:16

the solution is to send array in the body of request

$scope.listDms = []
$http.post('url',$scope.listDms);

in spring controller

@RequestMapping('url')
public getDomains(@RequestBody List<Domain> listDomain){
...
}

Since it is a post request you can send it in request body but if you have to send the data as url paramter you need to serialize the data before sending.

$http.post('url?listDomain='+JSON.stringify($scope.listDms));

However if the data consists any of the reserved special characters like '?,&,/....' you then need to escape your data before sending it to server side.

Escaping special characters
