POJOCache detach()? Sort Of?

[brucespringfield]

I need to detach an object, but then have it also stay in the cache to be accessed by others if needed or by my own instance if needed again.

But I just need to detach() just my reference to the object, so I have my own free object. Is there an easy way to do this with POJOCache? Or does this feature already exist?

detach as it stands is to "remove" the pojo from the cache unless you want to use it in other way?

Yes, I wanted to detach() a local Object so it was no longer connected to the cache, and yet I wanted the Object to still remain in the cache.

I wanted to have a local Object that was no longer connected to the cache and and would not affect the object that was stored in the cache. A copy of the object sounds like the best strategy.
