Hi,
It may be because of the way that the .equals() method is written for your
class. For example, the Object class itself says that two objects are
equal only if they are the SAME object. After they are passed BY VALUE
(i.e. through serialization) to a session bean they can no longer be the
same object (even if they were initially) and so will always be "not equal".
For your particular class it might make sense to write a more relevant
.equals() method.
