  *                      should return the same object           *

  ****************************************************************
  When calling DataObject.set("anyTypeProperty", anyJavaObject)
  then
  DataObject.get("anyTypeProperty"), the return value of
  DataObject.get("anyTypeProperty") is not the same as the
  anyJavaObject (meaning the object references are different)
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem is when set() is called, the anyJavaObject
  was converted to String format (like XML serialization) and
  stored. Then when get() was called, a new Java object was
  constructed. The solution is to serialize the value only
  invoked by the users otherwise keep the object reference around.
  
  APAR PM11128 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
  Level (Fix Pack) 1.0.1.3 of WebSphere Application Server v7
