Arrays of Arrays in Java | This is a nasty one for me... I'm a PHP guy working in Java on a JSP project. I know how to do what I'm attempting through too much code and a complete lack of finesse. 


I'd prefer to do it right. Here is the situation:


I'm writing a small display to show customers what days they can water their lawns based on their watering group (ABCDE) and what time of year it is. Our seasons look like this:
Summer (5-1 to 8-31) 
Spring (3-1 to 4-30) 
Fall (9-1 to 10-31)
Winter (11-1 to 2-28) 


An example might be:


If I'm in group A, here would be my allowed times:
Winter: Mondays only
Spring: Tues, Thurs, Sat
Summer: Any Day
Fall: Tues, Thurs, Sat


If I was writing this in PHP I would use arrays like this:



```
//M=Monday,t=Tuesday,T=Thursday.... etc
$schedule["A"]["Winter"]='M';
$schedule["A"]["Spring"]='tTS';
$schedule["A"]["Summer"]='Any';
$schedule["A"]["Fall"]='tTS';
$schedule["B"]["Winter"]='t';

```

I COULD make the days arrays (array("Tuesday","Thursday","Saturday")) etc, but it is not necessary for what I'm really trying to accomplish.


I will also need to setup arrays to determine what season I'm in:



```
$seasons["Summer"]["start"]=0501;
$seasons["Summer"]["end"]=0801;

```

Can anyone suggest a really cool way to do this? I will have today's date and the group letter. I will need to get out of my function a day (M) or a series of days (tTS), (Any).
