Get String array from Resultset

Question

In Tomcat 6.0.20 I am attempting to create an Oracle 9i resultset that outputs as a String array and need help creating the method.
The CityData getCityList() method will be called in the CityServlet:
CityServlet: String [] citys = cityData.getCityList();
I started my below attempt but not sure how to handle the List/array part:
CityData class: public ArrayList<String> getCityList() {     try {           .....           List<String> citys = new ArrayList<String>();           while(rs.next())           {               citys.add(rs.getString("city"));           }       }     return citys; }

Hi!
Try this:
public City[] getCitys() throws Exception
    String sql = "SELECT * FROM citys ORDER BY name ASC";
    Vector v = new Vector();       
    ResultSet rs = null;
    java.sql.Statement stmt = null;
    try
        stmt = conn.createStatement();
        rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
        while( rs.next() )
            City city = new City(rs);
            v.add(city);
    catch (Exception e) { throw e; }
    finally
        try
            if (stmt != null) stmt.close();
        catch (Exception e) { throw e; }
    City[] citys = new City[v.size()];
    for (int i = 0; i < citys.length; i++)
        citys[i] = (City)v.get(i);
    return citys;
