JPA Clone ISSue about cloning HOT 6 CLOSED

did you tried null instead of clone? I.e. for hibernate/spring you might do 
something like:

cloner.nullInsteadOfClone(SessionImplementor.class, JDBCTransaction.class, 
SessionImpl.class);

also you might want to

cloner.setDumpClonedClasses(true);

this will print all cloned classes and then you can nullInsteadOfClone those 
that you don't want to be cloned. Or you can registerImmutable() those.

Please let me know if that's ok and we can close the issue.

hi,

First of all, I wanna thank you for your response.

Actually I have a lot of classes of configuration (I use EclipseLink as
ORM)  that I don't wanna clone them, for example,

I tried
cloner.nullInsteadOfClone(org.eclipse.persistence.internal.helper.DatabaseTable.
class);

but doesnt work because it can regognize the  DatabaseTable class. all lib
are on the persistence layer and I am working on application layer.

What I have to do in this stade ?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Best Regards,
Akrem

hi, what do you mean "but doesnt work because it can regognize the  
DatabaseTable class"? Do you get a compilation error?

Regarding the persistence layer classes and cloner dump of those, see them as a 
tree of classes. Only a couple of them are on top of the tree and should be 
cloner.nullInsteadOfClone. If those are blocked then cloner won't visit the 
rest of the tree. I.e. I know for sure that for hibernate it is just a handful 
of classes that hibernate uses and it adds them to the proxies it returns.

An example: say your classes are C1 and C2. Now EclipseLink probably returns a 
C1Proxy class that contain a couple of fields:

C1Proxy.eclipseLinkField1
C1Proxy.eclipseLinkField2
.... and so on

If you debug your code, you will see those.

If you register their classes with cloner, then cloner can skip cloning them 
and will only clone your C1 and C2 entities.

Akrem, should I close the issue?

Yes, you can close it :)

Thank you for the support.

Best Regards,
Akrem
