Java never die

Code below illustrated couse of The method is ambiguous for the type compiler error.

public class AmbiguousMethodOwner {
            void ambiguousMethod(Comparable c){}
            void ambiguousMethod(Serializable c){}
            void test() {
                   ambiguousMethod("bar");
           }
     }

The problem now is obvious: since String implements both Comparable and
Serializable, the compiler cannot know which method you intend to call.

A simple cast will solve the problem:

      ambiguousMethod((Comparable)"bar");
