How to use BeanUtils.copyProperties?

Question

I am trying to copy properties from one bean to another. Here are the signature of two beans:

SearchContent:

public cla         


        

Answer 1

If you want to copy from searchContent to content, then code should be as follows

BeanUtils.copyProperties(content, searchContent);

You need to reverse the parameters as above in your code.

From API,

public static void copyProperties(Object dest, Object orig)
                           throws IllegalAccessException,
                                  InvocationTargetException)

Parameters:

dest - Destination bean whose properties are modified

orig - Origin bean whose properties are retrieved
