Abstract
A method for merging a first object graph with a second object graph, including packaging the first object graph into an internal representation, wherein the internal representation includes an attribute value and an object identity for each of a plurality of objects in the first object graph, sending the internal representation to a receiver, traversing the internal representation by the receiver, updating an object instance in the second object graph with the attribute value from the internal representation, if the object identity corresponding to the object instance is found in an identity mapping table, creating and populating a new object instance with the attribute value from the internal representation, if the object identity corresponding to the new object instance is not found in the identity mapping table, and linking the new object instance to the second object graph.
