I would think clone to be faster than serialzable, as serilazation has<br />
to walk through the object graph to store the state of the object. While<br />
in cloning, the user can simply call other construtor to create a new<br />
instance.

So is there any other alternative of cloning an object other than clone() method? &nbsp;I am actually looking for if I dont have to maintain clone method when new properties are added to the object.

Could someone suggest that how much the performance will be impacted if Serializable interface is used to clone java objects. &nbsp;org.apache.commons.lang.Se<wbr />rializatio<wbr />nUtils provides a method clone() to clone any serializable object but it says its slower. &nbsp;Any other alternative of cloning? &nbsp;Not sure if there is any benchmark tool available for this?

Cloneable versus Serializable

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.

Java EE

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.

Programming Languages-Other

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
