BeanUtils.copyProperties

BeanUtils.copyProperties is a method from the Apache Commons BeanUtils library. This method is used to copy the properties of one object to another object. It allows you to transfer properties from one object to another object of the same class or a different class.

The method takes two parameters: the source object and the destination object. It copies the properties from the source object to the destination object. If the properties in the source object and the destination object have the same name and type, the values are copied directly. If the properties have a different name or type, the method attempts to convert the value to the destination type.

The BeanUtils.copyProperties method is often used in scenarios where you need to map data from one object to another object. For example, you might use it to map data from a DTO (Data Transfer Object) to a domain object or vice versa.
