Thanks Kevin,
I guess I was looking for something like deep clone using serialization rather
than detach-clone-persist and so on through the object graph. Being lazy ;)

Hi David,
Did you find a solution?
Just a question: Why would you not use a standard service action to
create the copy? Is there any reason why you want Datanucleus to do it?
Personally, I would try and use a service that creates a copy of the
current records and updates the public reference instance to always
point to the latest (perhaps use a Proxy, for example - and another
administrative view that displays the full set of changes over time).
Cheers,
Kevin
