How to only return String objects from JdbcTemplate queryForList?

Question

By default, queryForList() returns each for as a Map. The object can be plain String, java.sql.Timestamp

Answer 1

Maybe there is a better way, but the following works:

jdbcTemplate.query(sql, params, new ColumnMapRowMapper() {
    @Override
    protected Object getColumnValue(ResultSet rs, int index) {
       return rs.getString(index);
    }
}
