compound attribute with Java HDF Object package

Is it possible to create a compound attribute using the java HDF object package? I am trying to create a simple compound type that holds two 32-bit unsigned integers. (An array would be trivial, but an existing implementation requires that compound datatype be used.) When using the createDatatype method, the Datatype.CLASS_COMPOUND can be specified, but I am unable to figure out how I would configure the datatype object to hold the necessary compound data structure so that it may be assigned as an attribute.

Any help is much appreciated.

Creating a compound attribute is not supported from HDF object package.
You may have to use HDF5 JNI to do so.

Thanks

Has this in any way shape or formed changed in more recent versions of the object library?
