PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
WebSphere Process Server 6.0.2 users.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
If a business object has a property
of anySimpleType, it would cause a
ClassCastException to using
SDOJavaObjectMediator.data2Java to
convert it to a java object.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

The code was not checking for a property of a business object
with the type of java.lang.Object but not DataObject.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
Checking was added for the property of a business object with   
the type of java.lang.Object but not DataObject. And the        
problem could be resolved after applying this interim fix.
