Is there any way in java, to create a method, which is expecting two different varargs? I know, with the same object kind it isn't possible because the compiler does'nt know where to start or to end. But why it also is'nt possible with to different Object types?

For example: 

public void doSomething(String... s, int... i){
    //...
    //...
}

Is there any way to create method like this? Thank you!

Only one vararg, sorry. But using asList() makes it almost as convenient:

 public void myMethod(List<Integer> args1, List<Integer> args2) {
   ...
 }

 -----------

 import static java.util.Arrays.asList;
 myMethod(asList(1,2,3), asList(4,5,6));
