public class TestGeneric {
    public static <T> T foo(T param){
        return null;
    }
    public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception {
        MethodHandle handle = MethodHandles.lookup().findStatic
            (TestGeneric.class, "foo",
                MethodType.methodType(Object.class, Object.class));
        try {
            String mh1 = (String) handle.invokeGeneric("");
        } catch (Throwable thr) {
            thr.printStackTrace();
        }
        try {
            Byte mh2 =  (Byte) handle.invokeGeneric((Byte) 0);
