Enum Constant Details

LITERAL

public static final CloneStrategy LITERAL

Literal clone. All properties of the clone are the same as those of the original.

LITERAL_NO_METADATA

public static final CloneStrategy LITERAL_NO_METADATA

As LITERAL but ignores the metadata.

REUSE

public static final CloneStrategy REUSE

Clone for reuse. Create clone of the object that is suitable to be reused in a different object or delta. The cloned object will have the same values, but it will not be presented as the same object as was the source of cloning. E.g. in case of containers it will create a container with the same values but with not identifiers. References will not have full object inside them.

Method Details

values

public static CloneStrategy[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.
