@AlfrescoPublicApi public static interface CopyServicePolicies.OnCopyNodePolicy extends ClassPolicy
Policy invoked when a node is copied.

Note: Copy policies are used to modify the copy behaviour. Rather than attempt to determine, up front, the behaviour that applies for all types and aspects, the callbacks are used to lazily adjust the behaviour.

Implementing this policy is particularly important if aspects want to partake in the copy process. The behaviour can change whether or not the aspect is copied and which of the properties to carry to the new node.

If no behaviour is registered or no callback is given, then the default behaviour is assumed. Several pre-defined behaviours exist to simplify the callbacks, including:

The DefaultCopyBehaviourCallback is probably the best starting point for further callback implementations; overriding the class allows the behaviour to be overridden, provided that this policy method is implemented.

Note: A 'class' is either a type or an aspect.

      CopyBehaviourCallback getCopyCallback(QName classRef, CopyDetails copyDetails)
      Called for all types and aspects before copying a node.
      Parameters:
      classRef - the type or aspect qualified name
      copyDetails - the details of the impending copy
      Returns:
      Return the callback that will be used to modify the copy behaviour for this dictionary class. Return null to assume the default.
