PROBLEM SUMMARY:?

USERS AFFECTED:
WebSphere Process Server v6.1.2 users

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Exceptions occur in Business Object or
EMF code below ObjectCopier.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

The ObjectCopier code was not properly looking up the eClass
for the destinationDataObject, resulting in it sometimes using
the original eClass resulting in problems. Also it was not
always finding the correct destination feature in FeatureMaps
also resulting in trying to set the origin feature in the
destination.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:?                                            
The lookup if the destination eClass in createCopy(EObject)     
was enhanced to try and obtain the correct eClass from the      
parent destination object if getTarget returned the origin      
eClass. Also, in the copy of the FeatureMap elements, efforts   
was made to demand create the destination feature if it was     
not found, rather than using the origin feature. The fix is     
targeted for fixpack 6.1.2.1
