Fully tested solution

$.ajax({
    type : "POST",
    url : "/myurl",
    data : {
        myArray: a //notice that "myArray" matches the value for @RequestParam
                   //on the Java side
    },
    success : function(response) {
       // do something ... 
    },
    error : function(e) {
       alert('Error: ' + e);
    }
}); 

@RequestMapping(value = "/save/", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public String controllerMethod(@RequestParam(value="myArray[]") List myArray){
        System.out.println("My Array"+myArray.get(0));
        return "";
    }
