Java two varargs in one method

Question

Is there any way in java, to create a method, which is expecting two different varargs? I know, with the same object kind it isn\'t possible because the compiler does\'nt kn

Answer 1

A possible API design in which the calling code looks like

    doSomething("a", "b").with(1,2);

through "fluent" API

public Intermediary doSomething(String... strings)
{
    return new Intermediary(strings);
}

class Intermediary
{
    ...
    public void with(int... ints)
    {
        reallyDoSomething(strings, ints);
    }
}

void reallyDoSomething(String[] strings, int[] ints)
{
    ...
}

The danger is if the programmer forgot to call with(...)

    doSomething("a", "b");  // nothing is done

Maybe this is a little better

    with("a", "b").and(1, 2).doSomething();
