[jira] [Commented] (BEANUTILS-210) copyProperties should have optional flag for including transient member variables

["Philippe Cloutier (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-210?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17793374#comment-17793374 ] 

Philippe Cloutier commented on BEANUTILS-210:
---------------------------------------------

{{I don't think such a method should be named copyNotTransients. It would be more discoverable to have an optional flag indeed.}}

{{Flags could also allow filtering properties based on their annotations.}}

> The EqualsBuilder, HashCodeBuilder, and ToStringBuilder all have a flag for
> allowing you to use only the non-transient member variables on an object.  The
> BeanUtils.copyProperties method should have a similar such variable (which can
> default to false) so you can designate only some variables to copy across domains.
