Bean mappers like dozer are capable of mapping an object to another existing object.
Currently, this API is hidden behind the BeanMapper interface provided by oasp. That's a pitty, as especially for large objects processed by an import from an external data source, it might be nice to map new data against old data and maybe just restore some minor fields to not be updated.
