Simple question, how make this code working ?

public class T {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        new T().m();
    }

    public // as mentioned by Bozho
    void foo(String... s) {
        System.err.println(s[0]);
    }

    void m() throws Exception {
        String[] a = new String[]{"hello", "kitty"};
        System.err.println(a.getClass());
        Method m = getClass().getMethod("foo", a.getClass());
        m.invoke(this, (Object[]) a);
    }
}

Output:

class [Ljava.lang.String;
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: wrong number of arguments
