So are you assuming that there is a class called Canoe somewhere in

I didn't see one so I thought *maybe I'm just stupid* that the Canoe

that of the OP.

The OP clearly had not posted an SSCCE. His use of Canoe in his example was
clearly for pedagogical purposes. Ergo, since I didn't see the definition of
Canoe, I assumed it.

I have a maths degree. "Assume a spherical teacup. ... "

Thanks for the correction. That has to do with the new generics in
Java 1.5, right?

I'm also sorry I didn't post the Canoe class. I wasn't thinking very
clearly and thought my example would compile to show the error. I was
also trying to post only a little portion of the code so that the
error would be easy to find.
