Symfony2 and Doctrine: how to fetch two different object for the same id?

Question

I have this scenario:

• Object A have some reference to other objects B,C,D
• Object B have some reference to other objects A,F,G
• Object C have so

Answer 1

Answer was less complex than I expected.

It seem to be sufficent call $this->entity_manager->clear(); that will clear this entity map and force it to reload from database into a brand new object!

$this->entity_manager->clear();
$aCopy = $this->entity_manager
                       ->getRepository('MyBundle:A')
                       ->find($a->getId());
            $this->logger->debug('Original Obj: '.spl_object_hash($a));
            $this->logger->debug('Copied Obj:      '.spl_object_hash($aCopy));

this will print

[2013-02-08 12:07:20] app.DEBUG: Original Obj: 000000006523645c000000004b1160d1 [] [] [2013-02-08 12:07:20] app.DEBUG: Copied Obj: 00000000652366e3000000004b1160d1 [] []
