Mylene,
Yes I saw this as I mentioned in the final paragraph, however I put it into
the conf/jkcon.ant.xml and it hasn't made any difference. I'm not sure I'm
configuring the tag correctly or in the right config file. Any ideas?
Leon,
I'm compiling them at runtime and no I haven't tried 5.5.16. I was quite
happy with 5.5.9 until I tried using generics. This is now in production and
I don't want to have to upgrade the server continuously to dodge a bug.
However, if there is no solution I will either have to revert the code to
good old class casting (rather not) or upgrade tomcat to a version that
supports 1.5 fully.

It could be ant...
<javac srcdir="${src}"
destdir="${build}"
fork="java$$javac.exe"
source="1.5" <-----
/>
(see the Ant manual at http://ant.apache.org/manual
<http://ant.apache.org/manual> - core tasks - javac)
Success,
Mylène
