variable arguments in functions

[equisitive]

Does anyone know if java provides for handling variable argument lists like 'C'?

The concept in Java is called overloading. While Java doesn't permit 'default' agruements in the parameter list, you can effectivly do this with overloading.
Example:

public void write( String fileName , boolean append ) 
{
.....
}
   
public void write( String fileName )
{
    write( fileName , false );
}

Hope this helps

I'm not sure if you understand what I am asking. I was wondering if java has a way to handle variable arguments in method calls like C.
e.g.
printf has a signature:
const char *printf( const char *format, ... );
where '...' is a variable list of arguments where the number of variable arguments can not be known.
If I want to process a variable number of arguments of various types, in C/C++(not sure about other languages) I can declare a method like:
void foo( arg1, arg2, ... );
allowing me to process 2(arg1, arg2) to n arguments and process the n - 2 variable arguments in my method definition if I so choose. Does anyone know if Java provides for this?
Thanks
