I'm using the following code to convert char[] to string, but it is throwing:

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to [C

char[] charArray = user.getUserPassword();  
String userPassword = String.valueOf(charArray);

Here user.getUserPassword() returns char[]. I also tried the following:

String userPassword = new String(charArray);

But it also throws the same exception. (I'm using java 8.)

The complete stack trace;

This is the UserDAOImpl class;

@Repository("userDAO")
public class UserDAOImpl implements UserDAO{

@Autowired
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@Override
public List<Object[]> login(String UserName, String UserPassword) {

    Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
    String hql = HqlConstant.UserQuery;
    Query query = session.createQuery(hql);
    query.setParameter("UserName", UserName);
    query.setParameter("UserPassword", UserPassword);
    List<Object[]> list = query.list();

    session.close();
    return list;
}
}

This is the HQL query;

from UserModel um inner join um.userRoleModel where um.UserName = :UserName and um.UserPassword = :UserPassword

if user.getUserPassword() would return a String the Exception would make sense - please post code from User with that method – Jan Apr 26 at 11:25
    
I would check the signature of user.getUserPassword() one more time if I were you. – NilsH Apr 26 at 11:25
    
also: Line numbers (Exception / Code) might make sense to track this down – Jan Apr 26 at 11:25
    
Please provide the complete stack trace for a fast and correct answer. – Kachiex Apr 26 at 11:33

My theory on what happens:

You put a String into 

 query.setParameter("UserPassword", UserPassword);

BUT

As you said, your userPassword property for your user Object is of type char[]

Now hibernate is a quite clever tool - it would recognize that object type for userPassword is char[] and then tries to set that into the generated query. But you passed a String.

Try this for once:

   query.setParameter("UserPassword", UserPassword.toCharArray());

in your login method.

Perfectly working, Thank you so much. – karthi Apr 26 at 12:48

Try use String userPassword = new StringBuilder() .append(user.getUserPassword()).toString();

This also throws the same exception. – karthi Apr 26 at 11:42
    
it wont solve problem as problem is related to casting from String to char[] not other way around – user902383 Apr 26 at 11:47

Try this:

String result=String.copyValueOf(charArray);

@madhead: how is this not an answer? It tries to directly address the error the OP reports. Voting to keep this answer. – gariepy Apr 26 at 15:42

If you want to cast a String to a char (array, I'm guessing). I used a for loop.

for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
  char[i] Letter = message1.charAt(i);
}

This was derived from my older code, but this should still convert the string message1 to a char Array... Tell me if this would help :P
