Your question is not clear. I guess, you may be referring to "copying the state of an object to another object of the same Class type" . If that is the case, then there is a method called clone() in the Object Class that has to be overridden by the Class of the object in consideration.
First, if the class of this object does not implement the interface Cloneable, then a CloneNotSupportedException is thrown.
There are two kinds of cloning "Shallow Cloning" and "Deep Cloning".

thanks for ur reply.
But am actually referring to copying multiple rows from a database for e.g. Sybase.

So for executing that BCP (Bulk Copy Protocol)command is there any java api's available ?

I think i said it clear...

thanks in advance for all ur suggestions...

That would be a custom extension in the specific JDBC drivers for your database engine.
