Is there an append method for java arrays

And the code below from here:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-08-1999/jw-08-cooltools.html

    public int[] method01( SomeContainer rset )
    {
        int[] bigArray = new int[ 1024 ];
        int count = 0;
        while( rset.next() )
        {  
            if( count >= bigArray.length ) // time to grow!
            {
                int[] tmpArray = new int[ bigArray.length + 1024 ];
                System.arraycopy( bigArray, 0, tmpArray,
                  0, bigArray.length );
                bigArray = tmpArray;
            }  
            bigArray[ count ] = rset.getInt();
            count += 1;
        }
        int[] smallArray = new int[ count ];
        System.arraycopy( bigArray, 0, smallArray, 0, smallArray.length );
        return smallArray;
    }

Thanks I have been looking into Arraylist and Vectors - running into a few problems but I'll post if I need some help.

Thanks,
