Why this method can not be overloaded?

Consider the following code in Java 5.0, why the function() method can not be overloaded?
public class Program {

  void function(String... names){
    System.out.println("in function(String... names)");
  }

  void function(String[] names){
    System.out.println("in function(String[] names)");
  }

}
In the first function() method, the names argument is defined as type String.... This tells the compiler that calling code can pass a variable number of String parameters.
At compile time a vararg is converted to an array (see USING THE VARARGS LANGUAGE FEATURE). The String... equates to a String array (String[]). Therefore, the compiler will treat the second function() method as the duplicate method in the class.

WebSphere MQ Interview Questions

What is MQ and what does it do? Ans. MQ stands for MESSAGE QUEUEING. WebSphere MQ allows application programs to use message queuing to participate in message-driven processing. Application programs can communicate across different platforms by using the appropriate message queuing software products. What is Message driven process? Ans . When messages arrive on a queue, they can automatically start an application using triggering. If necessary, the applications can be stopped when the message (or messages) have been processed. What are advantages of the MQ? Ans. 1. Integration. 2. Asynchrony 3. Assured Delivery 4. Scalability. How does it support the Integration? Ans. Because the MQ is independent of the Operating System you use i.e. it may be Windows, Solaris,AIX.It is independent of the protocol (i.e. TCP/IP, LU6.2, SNA, NetBIOS, UDP).It is not required that both the sender and receiver should be running on the same platform What is Asynchrony? Ans. With messag...

Asynchronous Vs. Synchronous Communications

Synchronous (One thread):   1 thread -> |<---A---->||<----B---------->||<------C----->| Synchronous (multi-threaded):   thread A -> |<---A---->| \ thread B ------------> ->|<----B---------->| \ thread C ----------------------------------> ->|<------C----->|
