replace

public Object replace(Object original,

Description copied from interface: Type

During merge, replace the existing (target) value in the entity we are merging to with a new (original) value from the detached entity we are merging. For immutable objects, or null values, it is safe to simply return the first parameter. For mutable objects, it is safe to return a copy of the first parameter. For objects with component values, it might make sense to recursively replace component values.

Parameters:

original - the value from the detached entity being merged

target - the value in the managed entity

Returns:

the value to be merged

isMutable

Description copied from interface: Type

Are objects of this type mutable. (With respect to the referencing object ... entities and collections are considered immutable because they manage their own internal state.)

Returns:

boolean

                       Object current,
                       boolean[] checkable,
                       SessionImplementor session)
