what is Ljava.lang.String;@

Question

I have a string array selectCancel with setter and getter methods, which is a checkbox in my form. I am trying to get the checked values and I am getting the above result when I print.

I tried the Arrays.toString() method but it still prints the same.

I then did the following:

String checked = Arrays.toString(Employee.getSelectCancel()); 

I also tried with the Arrays.asList() and Arrays.copyOf()

So, how do I read this string?

Answer 1

The method works if you provide an array. The output of

String[] helloWorld = {"Hello", "World"}; System.out.println(helloWorld); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(helloWorld)); 

is

[Ljava.lang.String;@45a877 [Hello, World] 

(the number after @ is almost always different)

Please tell us the return type of Employee.getSelectCancel()
