Hello,

Is there any way to shallow copy IloCplex object in Java?

For example, I have IloCplex model1: max (x1+x2) s.t x1+x2<=2.
Then, I want to add more constraints to it in model2: max (x1+x2) s.t (x1+x2<=2 and 2x1+x2<=5), while still keeping model1 as it is, because later on I want to build another model from that.

Or, is there any way to copy all constraints from model1 and add to model2? I do not really care about objective function at this point.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Jamie

I think what you describe is creating a deep copy, isn't it?
What could help you is the CplexServer.java example that is in the collection of examples distributed with CPLEX. It shows how to serialize a model to an ObjectOutputStream. You could serialize your model to a file and then reload it every time you need it. Does that work for you?
