detachAll

Object[] detachAll(Collection objs,

Parameters:

objs - array of instances to import

copyNew - whether to copy new instances

Returns:

the re-attached instances

newInstance

Object newInstance(Class cls)

Create a new instance of type cls. If cls is an interface or an abstract class whose abstract methods follow the JavaBeans convention, this method will create a concrete implementation according to the metadata that defines the class.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if cls is not a managed type or interface.
