Description copied from interface: Type

During merge, replace the existing (target) value in the entity we are merging to with a new (original) value from the detached entity we are merging.

Parameters:

original - the value from the detached entity being merged

target - the value in the managed entity

session - The originating session

owner - The owner of the value

copyCache - The cache of already copied/replaced values

Returns:

the value to be merged
