java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to java.lang.String

Question

when I am running this code its giving me exception java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to java.lang.String on q1.list();

Query q=session.createQuery("select categoryData FROM SearchHistoryEntity where userId=:u");
q.setInteger("u", userId);
List<String> list1=q.list();
if(list1!=null){
Query q1=session.createQuery("FROM BookEntity where category in (:names) order by bookId");
q1.setParameter("names", list1);
if(q1.list().size()>9){  
    q1.setFirstResult(1);
    q1.setMaxResults(9);
}
list=new ArrayList<BookEntity>();
list=q1.list();

this is the full stacktrace:

Try changing

q1.setParameter("names", list1);

to

q1.setParameterList("names", list1);

q1.setParameterList("names", list1);

While this code may answer the question, it is better to explain how to solve the problem and provide the code as an example or reference. Code-only answers can be confusing and lack context. – Robert Columbia Dec 29 '18 at 11:11

 For emaple we have pass data on server through api url and we pass parameter or body 
 parameter value same process is here. we will pass list in parameter in this case:
