EntityManager.merge(..) gets an instance and returns an instance that is managed. And in case of transient instances it returns a new instance (does not modify the original)

So your method should return em.merge(entity)

When a object is cloned say for example, The below merge will create a new record in to db with a new generated id.

Foo foo = getById(xxxx);
foo.setid(null or 0)
BeanUtils.copyproperties(newFoo,foo);
newFoo= mergeFoo(newFoo)

mergeFoo(foo){
return getHibernateTemplate().merge(entity);

getHIbernateTemplate(Sessionfactory sessionfactory){
return new HibernateTemplate(sessionFactory);
}
