Kiren-

I assume you mean BeanUtils.copyProperties(...) right?

If so, I believe the reason you cannot use it is because BeanUtils.copyProperties(...) performs a shallow copy and per the javadocs (HTML tags removed): "...and so complex properties (for example, nested ones) will not be copied."

I would suggest removing it from the Action code by creating a utility class and implement your own copy() method. Say, a static "duplication" method that takes an instance of your bean as a parameter and returns a new instance of the same bean. I'm curious as to why you're using arrays as opposed to the Collections framework....

I don't believe that any copy methods in the J2SE are deep copy methods, so if this is what you need, then a static utility method is probably your best bet.

cheers,

I've got a domain object which stored an indexed array of objects.

public class GroupExposures {

        public void setOtherLenders(float otherLenders,int type) {
                exposures[type].otherLenders = otherLenders;
        }

-->
Form extract:
public float getOtherLendersUtilisation(){return
OtherLendersUtilisation;
        }

----

In my Action class I have to say the following:
groupExposures.setOtherLenders(groupExposuresForm.getOtherLendersUtilisa
tion(),LimitTypes.UTILISATION); 
------
The way this class is set up, I cannot use BeanUtils.copy() to copy the
values across. The Action class is huge because of this and it was quite
tedious putting in the code. Is there a quicker, easier way to do this?
