  Repeating invocation of the method

javax.xml.datatype.Duration.hashCode()

returns different values for the same Duration instance object.

Javadoc of the method reads:

"Returns a hash code consistent with the definition of the equals method."

So, the method is expected to return the same values for the same durations.
But in the test (see below) for a duration "PT24H" the method,
being called several times, returns different values.

This bug affects new test in JCK 1.5
    api/javax_xml/datatype/Duration/index.html#Duration[HashCode001]

The bug is found in jdk1.5.0/beta/b35 and it is reprodusible in jdk1.5.0/beta/b32c.

To reproduce the bug compile and run the following code as shown
in the log below:
------------------------------------------ test.java
import javax.xml.datatype.Duration;

public class test {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        Duration d = new Duration("PT24H");
        int hc1 = d.hashCode();
        int hc2 = hc1;
        for (int i = 1000; --i >=0 || hc1 == hc2; ) {
            hc2 = d.hashCode();
        }
        if (hc1 != hc2) {
            System.out.println("hashCode(PT24H) == " + hc1 + " and " + hc2);
        } else {
            System.out.println("OK");
        }
    }
}
