Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
Hi Rodrigo, I think the problem is that when ArrayString was added a few years back the Array.factory() method was not modified to handle it. I have added an issue for this [1] to our issue tracking system. You can "watch" this issue if you wish to follow our progress. I don't think a fix for this issue will make it into netCDF-Java/CDM 4.5.4 which is already in the process of being released. The ArrayString.factory() method is what should get called when Array.factory(DataType.STRING, ...) is called. So, the only risk in calling it directly is that it isn't a public method which means you'll have to kludge things a bit to call it. And, as a non-public method we don't really guarantee its existence like we do public methods.
