	I few years back I posted a mechanism to do this... it was written in  
ObjC but could be redone easily enough in Java.  It copies all  
attributes except primary/foreign keys, and will deep-copy  
relationships marked cascade delete.  Subclasses can override to alter  
behavior.  It's a slightly more complicated version of what was  
proposed here recently.
