Enclosing class:

CopyEntityAttributes

public static enum CopyEntityAttributes.CopyMode
extends java.lang.Enum<CopyEntityAttributes.CopyMode>

Enumeration of the possible copy modes. The available values are:

• FROM_ENTITY: The entity attributes will be copied from the entity to the copy object.
• TO_ENTITY: The entity attributes will be copied from the copy object to the entity. If the entity doesn't exist a new instance will be created.
• TO_NEW_ENTITY: The entity attributes will be copied from the copy object to a new entity instance. If the entity parameter already contains an entity instance it will be overwritten with the new instance.
• TO_EXISTING_ENTITY: The entity attributes will be copied from the copy object to the entity if it exists. If the entity parameter doesn't contain an entity no values will be copied.
