How to get an array out of a Map?

[Dave Mulligan]

OK, this is one of those things that sounds like it should be simple, but I'm just being blind. Feel free to start any (helpful) answer with "as should be obvious to any intelligent lifeform..."
I have a HashMap of Address objects, with Strings as the keys. I want to extract an array of Address objects from it. So I tried

 (Address[]) addresses.entrySet().toArray(new Address[addresses.size()]); 

but that throws an ArrayStoreException. I think that this is because the Set that is returned by the entrySet() method contains Map.Entry objects, not Address objects but that hasn't helped me work out how to get the contents as an Address[] array.
Any help gratefully accepted

Oh dear, now I'm embarrassed. Try values() intead of entrySet() :roll:
Should have been obvious to any intelligent lifeform with a reference book.

I think the problem is that HashMap.values() returns a Collection, which is an interface. In this code, I'm using an ArrayList. I don't have a java compiler on hand to test this, but try this:
Address[] myAddressArray = (Address[]) ArrayList(addresses.values()).toArray()
