how can I convert postgresql array to java array in getJdbcTemplate().query

Question

I am using spring to interact with postgresql. Here is my problem.

Person have three attributes:

1. name(String)
2. hobbies(String[])
3. gender(boolean)

If I try to get a list of person from database using the method below

List<Person> person=  getJdbcTemplate().query("select * from person where name=?",new BeanPropertyRowMapper<person>(Person.class),name);

The compiler prompts

Failed to convert property value of type 'org.postgresql.jdbc.PgArray' to required type 'java.lang.String[]' for property 'hobbies';

Is there any way to map pgarray to java array?

Answer 1

By implementing our own RowMapper

public class PersonRowMapper implements RowMapper<Person> 

Now, we can manipulate the result of rs.getArray(), then return person.
