i don't think it would clear the id and version fields? do you mean
using SerializationUtils clone?

If the entity is serializable have you try writing it out and read it back

is there a way to deep clone a JPA object automatically? i.e. to copy
all the parameters and children but clear the id and version fields?
i saw that it is possible to do em.detach(object); and then reset the id
and version but by the time i have done that i may as well have written
a full copy function.
