If all the objects within the bean implement Serializable
interface, will BeanUtils.cloneBean()
do a deep copy?
But BeanUtils. copyProperties does not perform a deep copy of fields and each level has to be created and separately copied.
Copying properties of one object to another object is often tedious and error-prone for developers. BeanUtils class provides a copyProperties method that copies the properties of source object to target object where the property name is same in both objects.
To create a true deep copy of ArrayList, we should create a new ArrayList and copy all the cloned elements to new ArrayList one by one and we should also clone Student object properly. To create deep copy of Student class, we can divide its class members to mutable and immutable types.
Copy an Object With Object.assign() was the most popular way to deep copy an object. Object. assign() will copy everything into the new object, including any functions. Mutating the copied object also doesn't affect the original object.
Use SerializationUtils.clone method from the Apache Commons Lang for the deep copy. It copies the entire class hierarchy.
SerializationUtils.clone(object);
No, cloneBean()
does shallow copy only. If you want deep copy. You may refer this link which has technique to do deep copy.
