Description Shaun Smith CLA 2011-05-19 17:23:52 EDT 
Objects created by a CopyGroup have the CopyGroup attached to them.  This is generic AttributeGroup behavior designed to support the serialization of partial objects to a client and then back to the server for merge using the AttributeGroup.

Unfortunately, attempts to marshall such a copy with JAXB can result in an exception due to the presence of the CopyGroup.  For example, when JAXB calls a getter (it attempts to marshall all attributes by default) for a relationship an exception is thrown indicating the object is detached and the relationship cannot be resolved.

AttributeGroup should support suppression of the attachment (leaving the woven instance variable null) to support serialization by JAXB and other frameworks that are not aware of/expecting AttributeGroups.
