later for something useful.  Is it possible with Java or any other language?

this may seem like a stupid question, but i cant figure it out...
i have a simple JSP, in which I want to call a static method in another

When I first heard about generics I was excited.  A great idea finally
available in Java.  But the way they are implemented really makes no sense.  
Because of type erasure generics do nothing that 1.4 code didn't already do
by using Object as "generic" class for all (sub)classes.
