| Method Detail |
makeDuplicate
public Duplicable makeDuplicate()
- The method to call when you want to create (and save) the duplicate of an object.
This will call makeDuplicate(int) with a fresh new id.
makeDuplicate
public Duplicable makeDuplicate(int duplicateId)
- The method to call when you want to create (and save) the duplicate of an object,
while expliciting the id you want for the duplicate.
To use with care, as obviously the bean using that id will be overwritten. It is "recommended" that the overwritten bean be of the same type as the object being duplicated.
Implementation-wise, this method will make a raw duplicate (ie clone itself by changing its own id), and then call the customiseDuplicate() method where class-specific code should reside.
customiseDuplicate
public Duplicable customiseDuplicate(Duplicable duplicate)
- A method to customise (and save) a "raw" Duplicate, usually not called directly,
but used by makeDuplicate(int).
This method will do additional processing of a "raw" Duplicate. This is most useful for class-specific logic, such as creating Duplicates of composed objects, and assigning those Duplicates to the "raw" Duplicate.
When subclassing a Duplicable class, you should override this method only, without changing the makeDuplicate methods.
