Instantiate and store generic arrays

Good day everyone. My problem has been discussed many times on SO, but i cant find answer anyway. So, I need to store array of generics in my generic class instance:

public class GenericArrayStorage<Item> implements Iterable<Item> {

    private Item[] storage;
    ....
}

Obviously, I cant work with storage like with array of concrete objects (my IDE shows error Generic array creation on new Item[]). After some research i wrote this code:

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public GenericArrayStorage() {
    ParameterizedType genericSuperclass = 
       (ParameterizedType) getClass().getGenericSuperclass(); //error
    Class clazz = (Class) genericSuperclass.getActualTypeArguments()[0];
    storage = (Item[]) Array.newInstance(clazz, 10);
}

But this leads to following error: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Class cannot be cast to java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType

I said OK and wrote this:

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public GenericArrayStorage() {
    ParameterizedType pt = 
       (ParameterizedType) getClass().getGenericInterfaces()[0]; 
    Class clazz = (Class) pt.getActualTypeArguments()[0]; //error
    storage = (Item[]) Array.newInstance(clazz, 10);
}

This one causes another exception: java.lang.ClassCastException: sun.reflect.generics.reflectiveObjects.TypeVariableImpl cannot be cast to java.lang.Class. Sad but true.

Then I added .getClass() to pt.getActualTypeArguments()[0] and my constructor now don't throw any errors. However, when i try to work with this array after new GenericArrayStorage<Integer>(), it throws following: java.lang.ArrayStoreException: java.lang.Integer. This line causes exception: storage[0] = new Integer(1);

So, how could i work with generic array?
