Java中shallow clone 与deep Clone的区别

Java中实现对象clone的方式是implements Cloneable interface,然后在实现类中重写Object clone()方法．在Java中默认的是"shallow copy", 所以如果类的attribute中含有对象，并且希望实现"deep copy",就要将所涉及的类都 implements Cloneable and Serializable interfaces,　然后使用对象序列化的方式将对象写入disk,　然后再从disk中读出，并返回． 

Example:

import java.util.Date;
import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OptionalDataException;
import java.io.Serializable;

public class Monkey implements Cloneable, Serializable
{

    private int height;
    private int weight;

    /**
     * @directed
     * @clientCardinality 1
     * @supplierCardinality 1
     */
    private GoldRingedStaff staff;
    private Date birthDate;

    public Monkey()
    {
     this.birthDate = new Date();
        this.staff = new GoldRingedStaff();
    }

 
 public Object deepClone()
        throws IOException, OptionalDataException, ClassNotFoundException
 {
     //write to stream
     ByteArrayOutputStream bo = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
     ObjectOutputStream oo = new ObjectOutputStream(bo);
     oo.writeObject(this);
 
     //read from stream
     ByteArrayInputStream bi = new ByteArrayInputStream(bo.toByteArray());
     ObjectInputStream oi = new ObjectInputStream(bi);
 
     return (oi.readObject());
 }

    public Object clone()
    {
        Monkey temp = null;
        try
        {
            temp = (Monkey) super.clone();
        }
        catch(CloneNotSupportedException e)
        {
            System.out.println("Clone failed");
        }
        finally
        {
            return temp;
        }
    }

    public int getHeight()
    {
        return height;
    }

    public void setHeight(int height)
    {
        this.height = height;
    }

    public int getWeight()
    {
        return weight;
    }

    public void setWeight(int weight)
    {
        this.weight = weight;
    }

    public Date getBirthDate()
    {
        return birthDate;
    }

    public void setBirthDate(Date birthDate)
    {
        this.birthDate = birthDate;
    }

    public GoldRingedStaff getStaff()
    {
        return staff;
    }

}
