Is there a recommended way to clone a hibernate object?

also, is there best practices for comparing 2 hibernate objects??

Thank you

I haven't seen anything so far as best cloning practices go and any specifics with hibernate. Just be careful with Sessions and primary keys as cloning objects is an easy way to get StaleStateExceptions and the likes :)

Best way for comparing 2 objects is implementing a good .equals method that exactly mimcs what you want.
