Hi @all,
as it seems, the PropertyUtils.copyProperties() as well as
BeanUtils.copyProperties() only do a copy on class-level.
As I would like to reuse my copy-methods for an inherited
class-structure I would like to ask if there is also a chance to do a
full-object copy for inherited classes for all properties.

Example:
public class Class1 {
private String attribute1;
}
public class Class2 extends Class1 {
private String attribute2;
}
public class Business {
public static copy(Class1 source, Class1 dest) {
PropertyUtils.copyProperties(source, dest)
}
}
==
If I call Business.copy() with 2 instances of Class1, attribute1 is
perfectly copied. But if I call the same method with 2 instances of
Class2, only attribute1 is copied although I would also like to copy
attribute2 as well. Any chance to do that?
It does do this - but looks like you have the parameters the wrong way
round, try
PropertyUtils.copyProperties(dest, source)
Furthermore I realized that enumerations are not copied, too. Is there a
chance to copy the bean-instance including enumerations?
BeanUtils doesn't support JDK 1.5 features and it doesn't look very
likely it will do so since its pretty much in maintenance mode.

Thanks for your help
