<bean name="ValueBean">

<bean name="StringBean" class="java.lang.String">

I am trying to create  String named StringBean that gets created using the toCharArray method of the ValueBean.  The toCharArray method returns a char[] with value "someValue".  When I start JBoss I get the following error.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong arguments. new for target java.lang.reflect.Constructor expected=[java.lang.String] actual=[[C]

How do I properly handle a character array to initialize a string object in xml?  I am using version 2.0.9.GA shipped with JBoss EAP 5.0.1.
