Trouble Casting from Object to String[][]

[justride]

Hello,

I have a hashtable of keys/values where the keys are strings and the values are 2D String arrays, String[][].

If I pull a value, String[][], on a given key String, I get a result of type Object. I need to, I guess, cast this Object to a String[][] because I need to pass it so some method

void doSomething(String[][]){}

If I code something like:

doSomething(hashtable.get("key"));

I get "the method doSomething(Object)" is undefined.

I tried casting too, with a (String[][]) but that didnt work.

Any suggestions?

This works for me :

        public void bla(String[][] bla) {
                System.out.println("val : " +bla[0][0]);
        }

        public void doit()
                String[][] bla = new String[1][1];
                bla[0][0] = "Hello";

                Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
                ht.put("bla", bla);

                bla((String[][])(ht.get("bla")));
         }
