I've added MockServiceBindingTestCase, which exposes this issue: - http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/microcontainer/trunk/kern... But I guess you'll have to add similar behavior to ServiceMetaDataParser. Since if some string looks like ObjectName, it's eventually gonna be used as ObjectName, hence canonical form is in order - making equal work on ObjectName 'string' representation.
