Deep Cloning problem

Question

I am having problems deep cloning a LinkedList object which contains serializable objects. I have tried using hand coded deep cloning and using the byteArray output and input streams.
But nothing is working :(.
My code currently looks like this:
public LinkedList clones(LinkedList list){
   LinkedList deepCopy = new LinkedList();
   for(int x = 0; x < list.size(); x++){
      myClasstemp = new myClass((materials)list.get(x));
      deepCopy.add(new myClass(temp));
   return deepCopy;
}cloning using just new myClass works when I am using individual objects, but when I try applying this to the new linkedlist, nothing happens. Is my error in the fact I am using .get? Or is it somewhere else in my code?
My problem is that when I remove an object from the original LinkedList, the deepclone is changed as well.

Answer 1

to be as detailed as possible, my problem is that I actually have 2 classes. One class is a structure object which contains basic properties like doubles and strings. And the other has doubles and strings as well and includes a LinkedList containing objects from the first class. To for an example, I have a student and School class where a School object contains a LinkedList holding all the students at the school.
What I am trying to do is make a Cancel button. So, what I want is to make a copy of the original school, so if while editing the school, I decide I want to revert back to my original settings, I can by pressing the cancel button. So far, I can only accomplish this with the student class but not the School class. Does that make sense?
