Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Developers building applications for        *
  *                  Android which use JSONStore and have        *
  *                  nested search fields.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Android applications using JSONStore    *
  *                      with nested search fields will be       *
  *                      unable to re-initialize an existing     *
  *                      JSONStore collection when an            *
  *                      application is restarted.  If the       *
  *                      application is still running in         *
  *                      memory from the first initialization    *
  *                      of the collection the applicaiton       *
  *                      will continue to work.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The routine to compare the existing search fields from an
  existing persistent store with those passed in to the
  initCollection/init functions of WL.JSONStore was incorrect.
  

Problem conclusion

• The implementation was failing to compare the case where the
  search field names had to be normalized and was only comparing
  the raw values.  The code has been augmented to also compare
  the normalized values.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpack 5.0.6.1.
