Method Detail

getOMFactory

OMFactory getOMFactory()

Get the OMFactory that created this information item.

clone

OMInformationItem clone(OMCloneOptions options)

Clone this information item. If the information item is a container, then its descendants will be cloned recursively. Note that in this case, this method will traverse the descendants and create clones immediately. It will also preserve the original nodes. This means that after the execution of this method, both the returned clone and the original container will be completely built.

Parameters:

options - the options to use when cloning this element and its descendants; for object models with domain specific extensions (such as SOAP), this may be a subclass of OMCloneOptions

Returns:

the cloned element
