Cloning EntityProxies

[Rogelio Flores]

I have started to use RequestFactory (RF) recently (long-time RPC user).

There's something I haven't found how to do apart from manually copying data; I want to clone an EntityProxy. In fact, one that contains a 1:n mapping (contains a List of other EntityProxies). Not sure this last part matters, but in other words, from a given myAEntityProxy1 that is already persisted in the DB, does RF have anything that allows me to simply clone it so that I end up with a new myAEntityProxy2 that has the exact same data as myAEntityProxy1, and after a few changes or no changes at all, when persisted, gets saved into the DB without overriding myAEntityProxy1? (I want new record(s) to be created).

try with this:

                AutoBean<T> oldBean = AutoBeanUtils.getAutoBean(oldProxy);

                AutoBean<T> newBean = AutoBeanUtils.getAutoBean(newProxy);

                AutoBeanCodex.decodeInto(AutoBeanCodex.encode(oldBean), newBean);

                newProxy = newBean.as();

                context.edit(newProxy);

This works! Thanks.

(just wanted to state that for the record).
