Converting a String containing Hexadecimal values to proper format String

[ssmtech]

Hello All,           I am working on Oracle9i and accessing a PL/SQP Procedure through Java(EJB) ,that is returning me some Strings.The problem i am facing is ,i have a String called "EmailAddresses" which the Package is returning me a Hexadecimal Value instead of returning a String value.   For e.g. instead of returning say, an email address [EMAIL PROTECTED], it returns as one big string the HEX equivalent of each character in �[EMAIL PROTECTED]�.  It returns "0x736D616C6C6170754069782E6E6574636F6D2E636F6D".   The first 0x denotes that what follows is in HEX format.73 is the hex equivalent of letter �s�, 6D is hex equivalent of letter �m� and so on.   the Code is, <code>   p1arr = (ARRAY) cstmt.getArray(13); p1obj = (String[])p1arr.getArray();   int ElementCount = cstmt.getInt(14);   ArrayList addresses = new ArrayList(); for(int i=0;i<ElementCount;i++) {  addresses.add(p1obj[i]);  System.out.println("The Email Addresses in the Arraylist is****** :"+addresses); }   </code>   The SOP prints out the contents of Arraylist in Hexadecimal Format instead of String Format....   How do i get the Proper Format of Strings instead of getting it in Hexadecimal format..... Is there a way i can convert a String Containing Hex Formated String into a proper String...   For e.g I want to get,  String emailAddresses = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" instead of  String emailAddresses = "0x736D616C6C6170754069782E6E6574636F6D2E636F6D";   I will be having hundereds of such EmailAddresses which will contain Hexadecimal values....how do i go about converting all of them to proper format Strings....   Can anybody please help me out with this problem...Any suggestions or code will be greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance   Regards Sam
