Hi,

I have a simple question about hibernate that I would like to ask you.

I would like to load an object (obj A), clone that object (obj B), and store that copy (obj B) in the database.

Now, suppose that object A has a collection. When I create object B, both A and B will point to the same collection.

My question is: is there any way that, when I store these objects in the database, hibernate duplicate their contents instead of pointing for the same contents?

Thanks in advance,
Joao Rangel
