I have only used java a couple of times years ago so I can't really give you a good answer to this question. I do however recommend that you search google for something like "ambiguous method overloading java" and see what you come up with. Maybe someone will be by later to give you a clear explanation.

It is not really related to Java. This is a "problem" of the resolution of a method choice by a compiler, common to all languages where the methods with different signatures can have the same name (for great convenience, of course), which is usually called by an awkward and sometimes misleading term "method overload". It's a very simple problem.
