Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayStoreException
at ArrayHandler.returnArray(Native Method)

My java and C code are pasted below

private static native String[] returnArray();
static{
System.loadLibrary("Msgimpl");
public static void main(String args[]) {
ArrayHandler ah= new ArrayHandler();
String[] ar = ah.returnArray();
for (int i=0; i<5; i++) {
System.out.println("array element"+i+"=" + ar);

JNIEXPORT jobjectArray JNICALL
Java_ArrayHandler_returnArray(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj){
jobjectArray ret;
int i;
char *message[5]= {"first",
     "second",
     "third",
     "fourth",
     "fifth"};
     jclass intArrCls = (*env)->FindClass(env, "[Ljava/lang/String;");
     if (intArrCls == NULL) {
     return NULL; /* exception thrown */
ret=(jobjectArray)(*env)->NewObjectArray(env,5,intArrCls,(*env)->NewStringUTF(env,""));
if (ret == NULL) {
          return NULL; /* out of memory error thrown */
for(i=0;i<5;i++) {
(*env)->SetObjectArrayElement(env,ret,i,(*env)->NewStringUTF(env,message[i]));
return(ret);

I found out the mistake
jclass intArrCls = (*env)->FindClass(env, "[Ljava/lang/String;"); should have been
jclass intArrCls = (*env)->FindClass(env, "Ljava/lang/String;");
