Java 8. Casting Object[] to String[][]

Question

I'm trying to load data from file into JTable. So, using Java 8 streams it is very easy to load file into array of strings:

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));
Object[] data = br.lines().map((s)->{
            String[] res = {s,"1"}; // Here's some conversion of line into String[] - elements of one row
            return res;
        }).toArray();
TableModel m = new DefaultTableModel( (String[][])data, cols);

But the last line results in error: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ClassCastException: [Ljava.lang.Object; cannot be cast to [[Ljava.lang.Object. How can I cast data to String[][]?

If you use toArray(String[][]::new) instead of toArray() it will return a String[][] instead of an Object[] and you wont need to cast it at all (if you assign it to a String[][]).

Splitting that piece of casting out into a loop should do it.

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));
Object[] data = br.lines().map((s)->{
        String[] res = {s,"1"}; // Here's some conversion of line into String[] - elements of one row
        return res;
    }).toArray();

String[][] dataMatrix = new String[data.length][];
for(int i = 0; i < data.length; i++){
    dataMatrix[i] = (String[]) data[i];
}
TableModel m = new DefaultTableModel(dataMatrix, cols);
