how to pass an array of integers into a Stored Procedure ?

Is this possible ? I have an varying length set of integers, I like to pass into SPL and then iterate over them and insert a row into a table for each one of the integers using the SPL. is this at all possible ? I know I can pass in SET types, that inserts an array of integers into a single column, for a single row, but this isn't what I need. I am using JDBC to do this and it seems there is no easy way of doing. My main goal is to avoid hitting the database for every insert of the integer into the table row. any ideas ?
