Cannot insert String[] objects in PreparedStatements !!!

Question

Hello guys,
I'm using PostgreSQL 7.0.3 for a website project.
I've got a table in the website database system which has a integer array type,
e.g.
create table preferences(
user_id integer references user,
music varchar(20)[5],
magazines varchar(20)[5],
channel varchar(10)[3]
)I've also got an javabean which holds the use preferences object
public class userPref{
private String[] music;
private String[] magazines;
private String[] channel;
private int userId;
// a constructor which uses reflection
public userPref(HttpServletRequest request){
}know i would like to be able to insert some values in that
table using java.sql library.
i've got
Connection con = broker.getConnection(); // the connection pool releases one connection
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement;
ps.setInt(1,user.getId());
...But for the rest of the fields, what should I use ?
I saw that there was setArray method in the PreparedStatement that uses java.sql.Array Class
Is it the method that I've got to use. If so, do I need to implement it ?
Please help me,
touco

I have no idea if that is the method you have to use or whether it will do what you want, but you do not have to implement it. That is the responsibility of the JDBC driver writer, just like the other 100-odd methods of PreparedStatement.
