replace

public Object replace(Object original,

Description copied from interface: Type
During merge, replace the existing (target) value in the entity we are merging to with a new (original) value from the detached entity we are merging. For immutable objects, or null values, it is safe to simply return the first parameter. For mutable objects, it is safe to return a copy of the first parameter. For objects with component values, it might make sense to recursively replace component values.

Parameters:
original - the value from the detached entity being merged
target - the value in the managed entity
session - The originating session
owner - The owner of the value
copyCache - The cache of already copied/replaced values
Returns:
the value to be merged
