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?
Furthermore I realized that enumerations are not copied, too. Is there a
chance to copy the bean-instance including enumerations?
Thanks for your help
Thomas
