在有的时候,我们希望对Java对象执行“深拷贝”。
在Java中,没有提供类似的C++的拷贝构造函数,但是提供了默认的”克隆”接口 Clonable。
如果我们要对一个只包含基础类型(int / long /String)的对象进行克隆,只需要实现Clonable并实现clone()函数即可。
如下:
public class Row implements Cloneable {
long id;
String data;
@Override
public Row clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
return (Row) super.clone();
}
}
如果要克隆一个引用了其他对象的Object,就要复杂一些了。
public class Employee implements Cloneable{
private int empoyeeId;
private String employeeName;
private Department department;
public Employee(int id, String name, Department dept)
{
this.empoyeeId = id;
this.employeeName = name;
this.department = dept;
}
//Modified clone() method in Employee class
@Override
protected Employee clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
Employee cloned = (Employee)super.clone();
cloned.setDepartment((Department)cloned.getDepartment().clone());
return cloned;
}
//Accessor/mutators methods will go there
}
实际上,还可以通过序列化/反序列化、ApacheCommons的SerializationUtils进行深度拷贝。
