John,
Could you handle this please. I assume he just wants to use an array
of char rather than a String, but maybe your OPeNDAP adaptation to
handle Strings is relevant ...

Hi,
I use NetCDF java (version 2.0) for generating netcdf files. I have a
problem when tried to generate a time dimension {"Jan", "Feb", "Mar",
...}
The NetCDF Java API have ArrayAbstract ( and ArrayInt, ArrayFloat, ...)
but NO ArrayString for holding the above 1D array. The reason I need
to use the above 1D array is to show month information rather than
{1,2,3,4...}. What should I do?
Thanks.

Hi Bob:
use ArrayChar class. it has getString() and setString() methods that
should work for you.
