Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
<G extends T> CreateResponse<G>	createOrRetrieveCopyInstance(MultiTenantCopyContext context) Clone this entity for the purpose of multiple tenancy.

Method Detail

createOrRetrieveCopyInstance

<G extends T> CreateResponse<G> createOrRetrieveCopyInstance(MultiTenantCopyContext context)
                                                      throws CloneNotSupportedException

Clone this entity for the purpose of multiple tenancy. Note, extending classes should follow this pattern:

public CreateResponse<MyClass> createOrRetrieveCopyInstance(MultiTenantCopyContext context) throws CloneNotSupportedException { CreateResponse<MyClass> createResponse = super.createOrRetrieveCopyInstance(context); if (createResponse.isAlreadyPopulated()) { return createResponse; } MyClass myClone = createResponse.getClone(); //copy extended field values on myClone here return createResponse; }

Support should also be added for @Embeddable classes that contribute fields (collections or basic) to a cloneable entity:

public CreateResponse<G extends MyClass> createOrRetrieveCopyInstance(MultiTenantCopyContext context) throws CloneNotSupportedException { CreateResponse createResponse = context.createOrRetrieveCopyInstance(this); MyClass myClone = createResponse.getClone(); //copy extended field values on myClone here return createResponse; }

Parameters:

context - a context object providing persistence and library functionality for copying entities

Returns:

the resulting copy container, possibly already persisted

Throws:

CloneNotSupportedException - if there's a problem detected with the cloning configuration
