initialize(Class, Object, Object, Encoder) - Method in class java.beans.PersistenceDelegate

Produce a series of statements with side effects on newInstance so that the new instance becomes equivalent to oldInstance.

initialize(Class, Object, Object, Encoder) - Method in class java.beans.DefaultPersistenceDelegate

instantiate(Object, Encoder) - Method in class java.beans.PersistenceDelegate

Returns an expression whose value is oldInstance.

instantiate(Object, Encoder) - Method in class java.beans.DefaultPersistenceDelegate
