Well, the problem is that you did not tell the problem.
So please let us execute a getter method on you to retrieve the problem statement. In short, what problem are you facing?

The problem is that he is facing an ambiguity compilation error because the compiler does not know which of the methods to invoke.

At runtime, var-args turn into an array, in your case int[] and Integer[]. The compiler could promote your invocation argument into both Integer[] and int[], hence does not know what to choose.

If you used new int[] {SOME VALUE} or new Integer[] {SOME_VALUE}, it would work.

hehe! okay. Sebastian answered it already.

it is just a matter of conversions and matching. If it is between Integer and int, the compiler matches the nearest. But arrays being objects confuse it, as it is to be resolved at compile time itself. If you give it a specific array of Integers or ints, it'll be easy as Sebastian said.
