BeanUtils.copyProperties

BeanUtils.copyProperties is a method in the Apache Commons BeanUtils library that allows for the copying of properties from one JavaBean object to another. This method is commonly used in Java applications to transfer data between objects, or to create a new object with the same properties as another object.

The method takes two parameters: the source object and the destination object. The source object is the object from which the properties will be copied, and the destination object is the object to which the properties will be copied. The method copies all properties with the same name and type from the source object to the destination object.

BeanUtils.copyProperties is a convenient way to copy properties between JavaBean objects without having to write custom code. However, it is important to note that this method only copies properties that have a getter and a setter method in both the source and destination objects. If a property does not have a corresponding getter or setter method, it will not be copied. Additionally, the method does not handle complex types, such as collections or nested objects, by default.

Overall, BeanUtils.copyProperties is a useful method for quickly copying properties between JavaBean objects in a Java application.
