In firing a property change event I must use this constructor

new PropertyChangeEvent(this,"wBishopIcon",oldobject,newobject));

HOwever, I am concerned about passing the old object reference into this
event to be handed around and molested/violated.  I would prefer to pass a
copy of the object, but is this proper?  Am I just paranoid?  Which is the
correct thing to pass, the original object the events are firing about, or
copies?


Thanks!
