How to duplicate and EmbeddedDocument in Doctrine (with MongoDb) - mongodb

Question

In in Doctrine ODM 1.0beta3, I need to take an #EmbeddedDocument from a Document, and to put it in another Document.
However when I try to do this, I get strange results.
There is a way to duplicate and EmbeddedObject?
EDIT:
The "strange" result is that a property of this embedded document is inserted alongside the other embedded documents.
More details:
I have a Queue embedded document with several Job documents in an #EmbedMany relationship:
Queue: -> [ Job, Job, Job]
Also some Jobs have another Job in a #EmbedOne property called $callback:
class Job {
/** #EmbedOne(targetDocument="Cron\Model\Document\Job") */
private $callback;
/** #Hash */
private $result;
}
/*
* #EmbeddedDocument
*/
class Queue {
/** #EmbedMany(targetDocument="Cron\Model\Document\Job") */
private $jobs = array();
//Getters and setters...
}
What I'm trying to do is to get the $callback Job, add a value to the $result hash and to enqueue this Job in the $jobs array().
What I get is the Job enqueued, but also the $result hash in the $jobs array, as if it was a Job document.
jobs array from mongodb:
...
[2] => Array
(
[parameters] => Array
(
[field] => office
[result] => "foo"
)
)
[3] => Array
(
[_id] => 638
[parameters] => Array
(
[field] => office
[result] => "foo"
)
)
The code is this:
$job = $queue->getLastJob();
$callback = $job->getCallback();
$params = $callback->getParameters();
$params['result'] = 'foo';
$callback->setParameters($params);
$queue->addJobs($callback);

I think you would tackle this problem as you would in any other language.
Just copy the object:
$some_obj["embedded_document"] = $other_obj["embedded_document"];
My understanding is that php makes a copy of the object instead of a reference and I've confirmed it locally.
What strange results are you getting exactly? If you provide some more information I can try to help.
Cheers!
