35 * Support for merging of JPA entities. This utility allows the result of a
36 * merge (modifications of primary key and/or version) to be merged back into
37 * the argument that was merged. As a result, the merged entity can be reused
38 * and the application is not forced to use the new version that was returned
41 * The utility traverses the object graph based on the public getter methods.
42 * Therefore, care should be taken with this utility as usage could lead to
43 * recursively loading all objects reachable from the given object. Then again,
44 * this utility is for working with detached objects and it would, in general,
45 * be bad practice to work with detached objects that still contain unresolved
46 * lazy loaded relations and with detached objects that implicitly refer to
47 * almost the entire datamodel.
49 * This utility best supports a service oriented design where interaction is
50 * through service interfaces where each service has its own storage isolated
51 * from other services. That would be opposed to a shared data design with many
52 * services acting on the same data.
