Hi !!!

I have the next question: i'm using object clones (serializing and deserializing them) to edit them and then if the page is accepted save them, if not i keep the original.
This is bringing me some problems with lazy initialization. When i clone the first object, i get not initialized collections cloned too, so i have to lock object to the session. I cannot lock it without dettaching first the cloned object.
Is there any way that my cloned object unitialized collections and proxys get a the session without dettaching the original and reattaching the cloned?

Thanks !!!

It is not possible to have two objects of the same type with the same identifiers associated with the same hibernate session.

I would suggest to try updating state of the existing object from clone. That might be very convenient with BeanUtils from jakarta-commons.
