Use
collection="array" type="string".
Works fine for me. I coded up your example from your other thread:
<filter>
<contexts>blablabla</contexts>
<contexts>blablabla</contexts>
<contexts>blablabla</contexts>
</filter>
Works just fine with the following class:
public class Filter {
private String[] _contexts = null;
public Filter() {
super();
}
public String[] getContexts() {
return _contexts;
}
public void setContexts(String[] contexts) {
_contexts = contexts;
}
} //-- class: Filter
and following mapping file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mapping>
<class name="Filter">
<field name="contexts" collection="array" type="string"/>
</class>
</mapping>
