Class CloneLibrary

java.lang.Object
  org.vfny.geoserver.global.dto.CloneLibrary

public final class CloneLibrary

extends java.lang.Object

CloneLibrary purpose is used to try and Set up a Deep Copy for DTO objets.

Static Library class for cloning complex structures independant of their contents.

Jody here - this is much more accessable when presented to the user as new Type( Type ) idiom. Java clone is messed up, I have seen several projects move to a copy() method or the above idom.

For the here and now we can use the above Idom. This will even work with all of our lists and Maps since we are only ever using Strings (imutable) in them.
