Constructor arguments in Wrappers

[vijayakrishna Mikkilineni]

The following code compiles:

   
                Boolean b4=new Boolean(true);
		Boolean b5=new Boolean(b4);
 

But how is it possible. In java docs, Boolean class has only two types of constructors:

    
Boolean(boolean b);
Boolean(String s);

Does Auto boxing apply to constructor args also or is it to only method args?

This code snippet should clear it up

  
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		method(1);
	}
	
	public static void method(Integer i)
	{
	}
  

It compiles just fine

I would say that a constructor is like any method (with respect to the arguments).
