Pass multiple values for single string argument

I am working on a framework which is already created in Selenium. It is a keyword driven framework. All keyword takes single data value as a argument. How can I pass multiple values for that single string argument in keyword. Keyword has only single string argument.

If you want to change the signature of your methods to accept multiple keywords you can use varargs to keep backwards compatibility with your existing code.

So change:

public void someMethod(String keyword) {
   //keyword is a String
}

to

public void someMethod(String... keywords) {
   //keywords is a String[]
}

When someMethod is called with a single argument keywords is a String array of length 1.

If you don't have any argument other that single String then you can pass delimited string to that method e.g. 

val1,val2,val3

and then inside the method use String#split to split the passed String into array or List.

PS: Just make sure that chosen delimiter doesn't appear inside the string values.
