Error description
Errors can occur when serializing certain AsynchBeans objects
such as J2EEContext on one release and deserializing them on a
different release due to not properly discarding the portions
which are not compatible with the destination release.
Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: Websphere Business Integration Server        *
*                 Foundation Users of AsynchBeans who share    *
*                 the objects across multiple releases.        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Problems with deserialization of        *
*                      AsynchBeans objects transported         *
*                      across release boundaries               *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When objects have more fields than what is being deserialized,
the unrecognized data is not being correctly bypassed.  This
disrupts the remaining serialization process.
Problem conclusion
Modifications were made to correctly bypass stream data which
should be skipped during deserialization.

This fix is intended for service packs 5.1.1.2 and 6.0.0.3.
