How to create a Double dimension array dynamically

Question

Hello,
If I have the following code running...
String[][] str = new String[1][3];
str[0]0] = "AAA";
str[0][1] = "BBB";
str[0][2] = "CCC";
I want to do the same code using runtime object creation. i.e.
String class_name = "java.lang.String";
How will I write the above mentioned code without using the hard code String class, i.e. I have to use class_name instead of "String".
Please help me.
Thanks in advance,
Anmol

Thanks Drake,
I got the solution i.e.
String class_name = "java.lang.String";
String ele_type = "java.lang.String";
int ele_size = 3;
String s1 = new String("AAA");
String s2 = new String("BBB");
String s3 = new String("CCC");
ArrayList ar = new ArrayList();
ar.add(s1);
ar.add(s2);
ar.add(s3);
Object base_obj = java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(Class.forName(class_name), new int[]{1,ele_size});
Object child_obj = java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(Class.forName(ele_type), ele_size);
for(int i=0;i<ele_size;i++){
Array.set(child_obj, i, ar.get(i));     
Array.set(base_obj,0,child_obj);               
// base_obj object is same as str shown in the above code
Thanks,
