Issue creating Link from linkTo when using function that has Generic parameters

I am currently working on a small self development project, and expanding a standard JSON style controller with CRUD capabilities. to become more capable through the HATOAS that has been brilliantly developed. I've based some of my design off of http://spring.io/guides/tutorials/bookmarks/ though taken a bit of time to expand it and making it a little smarter. So the issue I am facing is when I try to add the link to the class that extends ResourceSupport like below (note controller is a Class object that is passed to my object in the constructor):

this.add(linkTo(methodOn(controller).get(commonObject.getId())).withSelfRel());

The following exception and stacktrace is thrown:

The function in question it is having issues mapping has the following signature:

public ResponseEntity<?> get(@PathVariable("id") K id)

Where K extends Serializable and this is then defined in the parent class as an Integer. I've found when changing this to Integer it runs just fine, but since I'm trying to make my controllers flexible by using the generics I'd prefer to avoid using solid datatypes until I extend the class. I found it weird that when I used the methodOn on other functions that used @RequestBody it didnt seem to mind.

Is this intentional, as I would think since the controller class passed to it is defined already since its extended.
