Hi Eike,
first I want to thank you very much for your submission of the spring example.
Unfortunately I did not have the chance to look at it so far - but I am quite
keen to do so.
I'll let you know when I have.
Now about your question:
A DBTable object may only belong to one database object just like an XMLElement
belongs to its XMLDocument.
This assignment is usually performed on creation of the DBTable and there is no
mechanism to change it.
Hence if you really need to need a copy of the table object of one database in
another one you need to create a new instance of the table object.
Normally you would just create a instalce of the table like this:
DBTable t = new DB1.SomeTable(db2);
If your code should be more generic then you might use something like:
DBTable t = db1.getTable(...);
t.getClass().getConstructor(DBDatabase.class).newInstance(new Object[] {
db2 });
This assumes that the table has a constructor that takes the db as a parameter.
Hope this is what you need.
Otherwiese I would need to know what excatly you are trying to achieve with
this.
Regards
Rainer
