Problem in appending data to array

[preethi balaJain]

I tried to use 3 dimensional array(because i need data heirarchy).I can not able to add data to the array.I'm getting null pointer exception.Can anyone help me.Is there any other better way to do it?

 String test_new[][][];
 test_new = new Rectangle[6][][];


for(int i=0;i<6;i++)
{
	test_new[i] = new String[6][];
	test_new[i][0][0] = "one";
	for(int k=1;k<4;k++)
            	{
               	test_new[i][k] = new Rectangle[5];
               	int itr=0;
               	for(int j=0;j<3;j++)
                	{
                		itr +=1;
		              test_new[i][k][itr] = test1.get(j);
                	}
            	}
 }

 test_new[i][0][0] = "one";      

The last dimension needs to be initialized too ...

How does this compile with the incompatible types? "test_new" is declared as a 3-dimensional String array. But then a new 3-dimensional Rectangle array is created and assigned to test_new.
