Thank you Dan, your suggestions are inviting...In which cases can you use BeanUtils.copyProperties? Sorry for that question, I hadn't time to go trough the documentation, so If you can give me some insights, otherwise I'll wait until I'll have some more time and will investigate on the BeanUtils.copyProperties method.
