> There is an interesting edge case in HashMap. If we use a proxy object as the key to put something into HashMap, we will fail to retrieve the value by using that key. But RI works well for this case. Here is a test case below to present the problem. I found the root cause of the failure for Harmony HashMap is that proxyInstance.equals(proxyInstance) returns false which sounds strange but appears work correctly as both Harmony and RI behave so. I suspect RI has made some special approaches to match the key when the key is a proxy object. So I would be inclined to follow RI's behavior in this case.
