public class QMCloneable

extends Object

implements Cloneable

A publicly cloneable object.

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

Additional static support methods are provided.

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

Constructor Summary

QMCloneable()

Method Summary

Object	clone() Returns a copy of this object.
static ArrayList	clone(ArrayList l) Deep clone a list of QMCloneable objects.
static QMCloneable	clone(QMCloneable c) Clone a QMCloneable object, but first check for null!

public QMCloneable()

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 QMCloneable, the result being a deep clone.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

clone

public static ArrayList clone(ArrayList l)

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

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

clone

public static QMCloneable clone(QMCloneable c)

Clone a QMCloneable object, but first check for null!
