                 Key: JBCACHE-1373
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1373
             Project: JBoss Cache
          Issue Type: Task
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Manik Surtani
         Assigned To: Manik Surtani
             Fix For: 3.0.0

A bunch of classes and interfaces implement/extend Cloneable and generally this is bad practice and difficult to control.  A copy constructor or factory method should be used instead with explicit copy semantics.  Perhaps a Duplicable interface, with a public duplicate() method, that will explicitly construct, duplicate state and return the instance?
