How can I convert a 2d char array from my Postgres DB to a native Java char[][]? This is my attempt based on [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16093398/use-jdbi-to-get-postgres-array-data):

```
import java.sql.Array;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;

import org.skife.jdbi.v2.StatementContext;
import org.skife.jdbi.v2.tweak.ResultSetMapper;

public class GameMapper implements ResultSetMapper<Game>{
    public Game map(int index, ResultSet resultSet, StatementContext statementContext) throws SQLException
    {
        Array board = resultSet.getArray("BOARD");
        return new Game(resultSet.getInt("ID"),
                        resultSet.getInt("WHOSE_TURN"),
                        resultSet.getInt("WINNER"),
                        (char[][]) board.getArray());
    }
}

```

**Data class:**

```
public class Game {
    protected int id; 
    protected int whoseTurn;
    protected int winner;
    protected char[][] board;

    public Game(int id, int turn, int winner, char[][] board ) {
        this.id=id;
        this.whoseTurn=turn;
        this.winner=winner;
        this.board=board;
    }

    @JsonProperty
    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    @JsonInclude(Include.NON_NULL)
    public int getWhoseTurn() {
        return whoseTurn;
    }

    @JsonInclude(Include.NON_NULL)
    public int getWinner() {
        return winner;
    }

    public char[][] getBoard() {
        return board;
    }   
}

```

**DAO:**

```
@RegisterMapper(GameMapper.class)
public interface GameDAO {

    @SqlUpdate("create table if not exists GAMES (ID integer, WHOSE_TURN varchar(10), WINNER varchar(10), BOARD char(1)[][])")
    void createTableIfNotExists();

    @SqlUpdate("insert into GAMES (ID, WHOSE_TURN, WINNER, BOARD) values (:id, :whoseTurn, :winner, :board)")
    void insert(@BindBean Game game);
}

```

But this results in a cast error:

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

```

Do I need to use [ResultSet](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/ResultSet.html) instead?
