Unable to send a proxy object to Server

Question

I have a value proxy object in my client side which I have created using a Request Context. I use the same request context to save that object. Till here its fine.

Now there is a new requirement where I need to send the same object to the server (for different purpose) to the server before the actual save in the flow. How can I do that?

I tried to create a new request context and then send object with that, but I got an error saying thats not allowed.

Thanks.

You have to duplicate/clone it. As it's a ValueProxy it shouldn't be a problem. The issue is that there's no easy and clean way to clone a proxy.

The cleanest solution is to use AutoBeanUtils.getAutoBean and then an AutoBeanVisitor to visit each property and set it on another proxy.

An easier way is to serialize the proxy into a ProxyStore and deserialize it, which will create a distinct proxy.
