Have a look in the bible :-) : "Practical WebObjects" by Chuck Hill and
Sascha Mallais, chapter 9 "Copying EnterpriseObjects". There you will
find an implementation which does excately what you want - a "deep copy"
including the referenced objects - and works fine.
This should give you a starting point how to copy objects. Of course, if
the default implementation offered there is not enough for you, you
could extend like Ken suggested and put additional meta-data in the
userInfos of the EOmodel to determine when to copy.

I've done stuff like this before - it really requires you to store
additional meta-data in the model (like what relationships to copy or
deep copy) and having your objects inherit from a common superclass.
Then, in your deep copy method of the common superclass, inspect the
model and copy what you have to.

Is there an easy way to duplicate an EOEnterpriseObject which would

automatically inserting new rows in variours database tables that are

I want to avoid building a copy of an object manually by creating
sub-objects and their sub-objets and in the end putting them
together...as I want to "copy" an object with many database
references....
