Lets say I have 2 CDObjects, object1 and object2.
Is there a CDOUtility
that will allow me to copy only the data elements of object1 into object2 but yet wont effect any of the CDO plumbing of object2(CDOID, CDOView, etc)? I'd like to keep the CDOTransaction and CDOSession of object2 intact. I just want to update its data with that of object1. I was wondering if this is something I need to write myself.
object2 = EcoreUtil.copy(object1)
Will obviously hose all of the CDO plumbing.
Thanks

No, the copy of an object is always detached from the graph, which in CDO implies that it's TRANSIENT (i.e., view==null,
id==null).

That's not possible, because the container reference is implicitely bidirectional and leaving it intact would imply to
add the object to the containment reference of its container.

Yes, only you can decide where to attach/add the copied object.

Yes, and the EMF plumbing (the container reference), too.
