java.lang.ClassCastException：java.util.ArrayList无法强制转换为java.lang.String

Question

when I am running this code its giving me exception java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to java.lang.String on q1.list();

Query q=session.createQuery("select categoryData FROM SearchHistoryEntity where userId=:u");
q.setInteger("u", userId);
List<String> list1=q.list();
if(list1!=null){
Query q1=session.createQuery("FROM BookEntity where category in (:names) order by bookId");
q1.setParameter("names", list1);
if(q1.list().size()>9){  
    q1.setFirstResult(1);
    q1.setMaxResults(9);
}
list=new ArrayList<BookEntity>();
list=q1.list();

this is the full stacktrace:
