Java implicit cast in function parameters

Is it possible to automatically cast an integer to an object when passing it as function parameter? i have this function prototype:

public void aggiungiA(Nodo x)


Nodo has his own constructor with an integer parameter. Now, What i want do is:

aggiungiA(5);


with an implicit cast.
is there anyway to do it?

There are no implicit casts via constructor invocations in java. You'll have to explicitly call the constructor - either from the caller, or by overloading the method:

public class MyClass {
public void aggiungiA(int i) {
aggiungiA(new Nodo(i));
}

public void aggiungiA(Nodo x) {
// Do something with X
}
}


In addition to @Mureinik's answer, I guess you are coming from a C++ background where certain casts do happen automatically. In Java things are different - the only implisit casts are:

long x = myLong + inInt
