<DD>Create a shallow copy of the DataObject dataObject:
Creates a new DataObject copiedDataObject with the same values
as the source dataObject for each property where
property.getType().isDataType() is true.
The value of such a Property property in copiedDataObject is:
dataObject.get(property) for single-valued Properties
(copiedDataObject.get(property) equals() dataObject.get(property)), or
a List where each member is equal to the member at the
same index in dataObject for multi-valued Properties
copiedDataObject.getList(property).get(i) equals() dataObject.getList(property).get(i)
The copied Object is unset for each Property where
property.getType().isDataType() is false
since they are not copied.
Read-only properties are copied.
A copied object shares metadata with the source object
sourceDO.getType() == copiedDO.getType()
If a ChangeSummary is part of the source DataObject
the copy has a new, empty ChangeSummary.
Logging state is the same as the source ChangeSummary.

<DD>Create a deep copy of the DataObject tree:
Copies the dataObject and all its <A HREF="../../../commonj/sdo/Property.html#isContainment()"><CODE>contained</CODE></A>
DataObjects recursively.
Values of Properties are copied as in shallow copy,
and values of Properties where
property.getType().isDataType() is false
are copied where each value copied must be a
DataObject contained by the source dataObject.
If a DataObject is outside the DataObject tree and the
property is bidirectional, then the DataObject is skipped.
If a DataObject is outside the DataObject tree and the
property is unidirectional, then the same DataObject is referenced.
Read-only properties are copied.
If any DataObject referenced is not in the containment
tree an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
If a ChangeSummary is part of the copy tree the new
ChangeSummary refers to objects in the new DataObject tree.
Logging state is the same as the source ChangeSummary.
