The java.lang.Object.clone() will give you another OmClass object - which is not what
you want. You want to use the innards of clone() to set your instance variables.
Can you add a constructor like OmClass (OmClass omObject) to OmClass - get that to do
the field/etc copies - but clone will still not be good for this - maybe Torque could
do it for you...
Then in your extended class do something like
ExtendClass(OmClass omObject) {
super(omObject);
....
}
This puts the responsibility with the objects that know about the fields.
Alternatively - does ExtendClass have to actually extend OmClass - perhaps it could
have an internal reference to the OmClass object - in which case the clone method
would be fine for you.
Hope this helps,
Chris
