Method Details

shallow

public static <T extends IClass> T shallow(T that)

Make a shallow copy of that.

All the properties are copied by reference. This includes also the lists. Hence, a list property is copied by reference, and not, as sometimes might be expected, as a new list of underlying references.

Parameters:

that - to be copied in a shallow manner

deep

public static <T extends IClass> T deep(T that)

Make a recursively a deep copy of that.

Parameters:

that - to be deeply copied in a recursive manner
