Bussiness object serialization problem

Question

Hi, I have a little problem with serialization, when I want to create xml from Business object. Example:
MyBoObject obj = new MyBoObject ();
obj.atr1 = "aaa";
obj.atr2 = "bbb";
String xml = DynamicXml.createXmlTextFor(object : obj, topLevelTag : "something");
display(xml);
And displayed result is:
<something>
<atr2>bbb</atr2>
</something>
atr1 is attribute, which is inherited from db table.
atr2 is atribute, which I created (it is not inherited from db table)
Whole problem is, that it only serialize atr2 - from some reason it completely ignores atr1 and his value.
Like I can't serialize attributes, which are inherited from db table.
But when I created new attribute atr2 in my Business Object (which is not inherited from db table), everything work ok. Where's the problem? I read docs, but found nothing...

If you need a simple project that duplicates this problem for customer support, here's where I put one: http://www.4shared.com/file/181611971/d21e9444/_2__DynamicXMLBug.html.
Have them import the project, start Studio's Engine, login as "test" and start the Workspace. Create a work item instance and then run the work item when it reaches the "Test" activity. When you run the logic, you'll see this displayed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<poHeir xmlns="http://bea.com/albpm/DynamicXml/version/2.0">
    <nameForPO>Dan</nameForPO>
</poHeir>They should note that only the "nameForPO" tag is created by the DynamicXml.createXmlTextFor() method. "nameForPO" is an attribute I manually added to the XML Heir BPM Object. The attributes of the inherited heir (e.g. "poHeir.orderDate" and "poHeir.billTo") are not included as tags in the generated XML even though these attributes have been set in the logic.
