public class QDMCloneable

extends Object

implements Cloneable

A publicly cloneable object.

The clone() method on java.lang.Object is protected, while the clone() method on QDMCloneable is public.

Additional static support methods are provided.

One of the assumptions made here is that objects which extend QDMCloneable have clones which also extend QDMCloneable.

public QDMCloneable()

Method Detail

clone

public Object clone()

Returns a copy of this object. This is a public method which overrides the protected method on java.lang.Object.

It is expected that this method will be overridden by classes which extend QDMCloneable, the result being a deep clone.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

clone

public static ArrayList clone(ArrayList l)

Deep clone a list of QDMCloneable objects. A convenience method that clones an ArrayList and its contents.

It is assumed that all the objects in the list extend QDMCloneable.

clone

public static QDMCloneable clone(QDMCloneable c)

Clone a QDMCloneable object, but first check for null!
