Is it possible to specify an arbitrary list of varags in a generic method?

I am trying to write an interface for REST controllers called GetOne right now this consists of a single method getOne 

fun <T> getOne(vararg args : Any) : ResponseEntity<RestResponse<T>>

Ideally I would like to be able to implement this method in any REST controller that has a method for getting one item by id.

While my return type works fine, the method itself can have any number of arguments that are annotated in Spring to map / serialize the fields to the RequestBody / Path Variables / Query Parameters.

I thought I would be able to represent this in my interface as varargs , but this just results in the compiler expecting me to specifically have varargs in my method signature.

Is there a proper way to express this, or can you not do this in kotlin?

Why do you need an interface for the controllers? If you want some common functionality for the implementations (like logging the ID param), you could use Spring AOP.
