For JSF, it updates values even if the values haven't changed. So I
check for that condition and if so, I don't actually update anything.
The safety issue is that DataObjects are only equal if it's the same
object in memory. So assigning another seemingly identical object
would sneak through.
I eventually (last week) wrote a new equals() method for my
BaseDataObject class that makes DataObjects equal if their ObjectId
value is equal. I'm hoping that will do what I want, but I'm a bit
nervous about changing DataObject equality.
