hello,
Sridhar here,

I have a problem in writing a generic method...

Consider the Case;

***********************************

Class Parent{

Child child
primitive datatypes...........

}

Clss Child{

SubChild subChild
primitive datatypes.......

}


Class SubChild{

primitive datatypes.........

}


Class ParentBean{

ChildBean childBean
primitive datatypes(same fields as Parent)
}

Class ChildBean{

SubChildBean subChildBean
primitive datatypes( same fields as Child)
}

Class SubChildBean{

primitive datatypes(same fields as SubChild)
}



now the question is that

I have to write one Generic Method so that, it copies values from ParentBean to Parent
like
parent.merge(parentBean)

in the method definition, i have to take them as object, not an instance of the corresponding entity or the bean

********************

if you find any solution, can you please reply to my personnel Id
