You could use setArray method as mentioned in the javadoc below:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/PreparedStatement.html#setArray(int, java.sql.Array)
Code:
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement("Select * from test where field in (?)");
Array array = statement.getConnection().createArrayOf("VARCHAR", new Object[]{"A1", "B2","C3"});
statement.setArray(1, array);
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();
