Jak ustawić w springu json serializer aby konwertował do listy zamiast do array

konfiguracja konwertera

	@Override
	public void configureMessageConverters(List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters) {
		Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder = new Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder();
		Jaxb2RootElementHttpMessageConverter jaxb2RootElementHttpMessageConverter = new Jaxb2RootElementHttpMessageConverter();
		jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder.modules(new ParanamerModule());

		converters.add(new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter(jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder.build()));
		converters.add(jaxb2RootElementHttpMessageConverter);
	}

dto

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class NewArticleDto {
	public String title;
	public String localType;
	public String offerType;
	public List<String> preferredContactTypes;
	public double localizationLat;
	public double localizationLng;
	public String localizationArea;


	@JsonCreator
	public NewArticleDto(String title, String localType, String offerType, List<String> preferredContactTypes, double localizationLat, double localizationLng,
			String localizationArea) {
		this.title = title;
		this.localType = localType;
		this.offerType = offerType;
		this.preferredContactTypes = preferredContactTypes;
		this.localizationLat = localizationLat;
		this.localizationLng = localizationLng;
		this.localizationArea = localizationArea;

	}
}

gdy listę preferredContactTypes zamieniam na String[] to wszystko serializuje. W jaki sposób mogę zmienić aby automatycznie potrafił skonwertować na array? Wiem, że mogę to zrobić w konstruktorze ale chciałbym to w bardziej elegancki sposób zrobić
