Given no arguments, the ``++Collections.toArray++`` method returns an ``++Object []++``, which will cause a ``++ClassCastException++`` at runtime if you try to cast it to an array of the proper class. Instead, pass an array of the correct type in to the call.
== Noncompliant Code Example
[source,java]
----
public String [] getStringArray(List<String> strings) {
return (String []) strings.toArray(); // Noncompliant; ClassCastException thrown
}
----
== Compliant Solution
[source,java]
----
public String [] getStringArray(List<String> strings) {
return strings.toArray(new String[0]);
}
