	//4. Retrieve the collection for Resource using the resource context
	IResource aResource = resourceFactory.getResource(aRid, rContext);
	//5. Get Destination RID
	RID dRid = RID.getRID(destination);
	logger.errorT(dRid.getPath());
	IResource dResource = aResource.copy(dRid, new CopyParameter());
 
	dResource.setProperty(new Property(PropertyName.createDisplayname(), ";destination";));
 
	logger.errorT(";After Copy";);
} catch (ResourceException e) {
	logger.errorT(";ResourceException INSIDE copy(): "; + e.toString());
} catch (UserManagementException e) {
