Static anonymous array as parameter

Question

I have a peculiar situation where I'd like to pass a "static anonymous array" as a parameter.
For example, the function being called would look like this:
public void writeField(String[][] fielddata) { ... }And the caller would look like this:
writeField( {{"id1", "name1", "label1"}, {"id2", "name2", "label2"}});
...I can easily do this and it works:
writeField( new String[][]{{"id1", "name1", "label1"}, {"id2", "name2", "label2"}});
...But I'd like to avoid the "new" calls if possible.
I'm sure you're thinking, "why?" It's an unusual situation and this really is an ideal way of solving it so please spare me the OO and type safety lesson.
Does anyone know of a way to pass a "static anonymous array" as a parameter. You can pass a static anonymous String, so why not an array? It seems like the compiler could pick up the array data type from the parameter specification of the called function.
Thanks!

I'm calling this function inline in a jsp page.
<% writeField( {{"id1", "name1", "label1"},
{"id2", "name2", "label2"}} ); %>I'm trying to see if I can avoid a lot of object
creation. It's more of a curiosity about the
language at this point. It seems to me that if you
can call a function like:
Actually the use of these anonymous arrays tends to result in more object creation.
What I'd do (not that I put much, if any, scriptlet coding in JSPs these days is something like this:
<%! private final static String[][] myData = {{"id1", "name1", "label1"},
{"id2", "name2", "label2"}} ); %>
<% writeField(myData); %>This only ever creates one instance of the array, however often the JSP is called. Same technique applies to things like DateFormat objects.
