session casting problem....

[mike vas]

Hi all,

I have the following code:

User user = new User();
user = (User)session.getAttribute("user");

Can anyone tell me how I can 'copy' the session object to 'user' so I can change the values of 'user' without changing the values of the object in the session..?
In the code above when I change a value in 'user' this is reflected to the session object.

thanks in advance.....

mike

Since copying/cloning objects is not a servlet specific issue..
Moving to Java In General (Intermediate).
