How in Java do I parse a Spring expression language-like array?

I’m using Spring 3.2.11.RELEASE and Java 6 (not an option to upgrade Java at this time). I’m writing my own annotation, in which one of the expressions could be expressed as a SpEL-like array …

key="{'org.mainco.subco.example.repo.MyDao', 'getExamples’}”

My question is, how, in Java, do I parse this into a String[] array? I figure there is already some pre-existing logic that Spring provides that will prevent me from having to write complex regular expressions to parse the text.

not sure if this works with Spring 3.2.11, tested it only with version 4.2.6.

String[] params = new SpelExpressionParser().parseExpression("{'foo', 'bar'}").getValue(String[].class);

Good luck!
