Hi Sebastian!

I've looked at the problem again, and I've found a solution!

You do have to write your own property editor. Just look at the 
StringArrayPropertyEditor in Spring and copy-paste or hack it yourself - 
it should be pretty easy. I suggest just cutting up the int using comma 
or space.

Then you have to register that property editor with the JavaBean Manager:

java.beans.PropertyEditorManager#registerEditor(int[].class, 
oneSebastiansIntArrayEditor);

You could do that in setUpMethod() in your test case. Just call the same 
method with null to unregister.

If you are willing to donate the code for your int array editor, I'll be 
happy to include it in the next version of DDSteps. Just file an 
enhancement request at: jira.ddsteps.org or send me an email!
