FileWriter doesn't have a write() method of any kind, so the method
search looks through its superclasses, bottom up. OutputStreamWriter
has the three write methods:
write(int)
write(char[], int, int)
write(java.lang.String, int, int)
and since you only supplied one argument, only the first of these
is checked, and it's a valid match. You could call one of the
others by supplying the two extra arguments.
The superclass of OutputStreamWriter is Writer .. and this does have
a write(String) method -- you can force the search to start with this
class by using a cast, for example:
(Writer dest).write(aString)
or perhaps more simply, have 'dest' be of type Writer, so the program
becomes:
dest = Writer FileWriter('dummy.txt', 1)
aString = String 'Just some String'
dest.write(aString)
dest.close()
