You have to override getStateToCopy() and setCopyableState() so that only the references that you care about are transferred.

If you want to transfer an object though, you ned to make them copyable.  That's the whole point; only classes explicitly marked as copyable are allowed to be transferred.  Otherwise, bugs in your code might expose lots more information than you really want to, and remote attackers could create classes that they shouldn't be able to.
