Are you absolutely certain that DataResult is immutable? What is the type of the timestamp? If it's a java.util.Date are you making copies of it when you're initializing the DataResult? Keep in mind that java.util.Date is mutable.

For instance:

Date timestamp = new Date();
DataResult d = new DataResult(timestamp);
System.out.println(d.getTimestamp());
timestamp.setTime(System.currentTimeMillis());
System.out.println(d.getTimestamp());

Would print two different times.

It would also help if you could post some source code.
