adding new variable to confirm value object

I'm trying to add a new variable that is not a part of the datastructure the confirm value object.  (adding formatted string of utime)

I've created a new private string variable in the confirm value object.  I've created J2EE getters and setters.

In my constructor of the confirm value object i've set this new variable to "hello world" to see if this will work.

When I run the BSSV from my local dev client, my new variable is NOT returned in the SOAP response message.

I've tried rebuilding the web service in jdev, i've restarted the fat client. I've deleted the deployment from the local weblogic server. I've rebuilt the deployment and redeployed, nothing seems to help
