Java-level deadlock with 11.2 (Doc ID 1271651.1)

Symptoms

JDBC application is running into a Java-level deadlock when trying to do the following scenario.

Scenario:-

Two different oracle.sql.ARRAY Objects were created using two different physical Connections
For example:
Con1: create oracle.sql.ARRAY A
Con2: create oracle.sql.ARRAY B

Then getting Connections later in the application in the inverse order and try to write
an Array on the Connection at the same time.
Con1: write oracle.sql.ARRAY B
Con2: write oracle.sql.ARRAY A
