Question

Guess you have a class with some c-tors:

public Foo(int i, String s);
public Foo(float fl, String s);
public Foo(String s, Bar b, boolean f);

Now, when you have the following fn:

public Foo doSomething(Object… args)
{
    /*… do something before … */
    Foo foo = new Foo( ?!? );
    /*… do something after … */
    return foo;
}

What should one to to call the correct c-tor? Is there a way to translate args back into the …-form?

Answer 1

You can, of course check the number and type of the arguments and dispatch accordingly. But note my comment above.
