java.lang.Object
org.dynamoframework.rest.crud.EntityCopier
@Component public class EntityCopier extends Object
A class used to create copies of an entity or list of entities

This is mainly used in order to "hide" attributes that are not relevant in a given situation (because "visibleInGrid" or "visibleInForm" is false for a particular attribute)

This is also used to get around infinite loops in the JSON structure, because this any references from detail objects back to their parents
