I think everyone is getting wrapped up around Dates. My general question was about mutable types.
byte[] data = { 1, 2, 3, 4 }; person.setData(data); data[0] = 5; for (int i = 0; i < person.getData().length; i++) System.out.println("Data[" + i + "] = " + person.getData()[i]); Data[0] = 5 Data[1] = 2 Data[2] = 3 Data[3] = 4 Again, modifying the original value changes what is stored internally by Cayenne.
