Question

How do I return an array of objects in java?

Answer 1

Well, you can only actually return an array of references to objects - no expressions in Java actually evaluate to objects themselves. Having said that, returning an array of Object references is easy:

 public Object[] yourMethod()
 {
     Object[] array = new Object[10];
     // Fill array
     return array;
 }

(To be utterly pedantic about it, you're returning a reference to an array of object references.)
