Well, you wouldn't be calling Jdbc4Array.getArray() anywhere in your
code where you don't have a connection, you would be doing that where
the connection is active. The connection doesn't go away until the
function that checked the connection out returns. Assuming you have a
ResultSet object you can do this:

String[] arrayOfStrings= (String[])
resultSet.getArray("col_name").getArray();

To put data into an array field, you have to use a
PreparedStatementCreator which gives you access to the
java.sql.Connection, so you can call "createArrayOf" from that.

jdbc.update(new PreparedStatementCreator() {
public PreparedStatement createPreparedStatement(final
Connection conn) throws SQLException {
final PreparedStatement ret =
conn.prepareStatement(UPDATE_TAGS);
ret.setObject(1, conn.createArrayOf("text", tags));
ret.setObject(2, id);
return ret;
}
});
