I hadn't seen that thread but I disagree with the assertion that -awakeFromInsert is a bad place to fetch just because "it happens from within one of the disallowed methods". Sure, certain situations can cause problems, but not all. I have a complex application that fetches from within an insert simply to examine the best place to insert itself in "the list" of these instances by a computed rank (it is done here so the ranking is persistent, which allows fetching only a few at a time at some 'window' in the middle of the list while maintaining the rank of tens of thousands of items). It has several subclasses (most of which override -awakeFromInsert, call super, and continue doing their own things). It's well-tested and works beautifully. It even creates a few dependent instances of another entity like you're doing. It all boils down to this (the last post in the thread you mentioned): http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2007/9/21/189536 > I've been going back and forth trying to clean up my code as I'm learning > more and more, but I don't know if I can clean this particular situation up > at all. Sure you can. Take my advice and try it. If it doesn't work as expected, post your code and a description of the misbehavior. -- I.S. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
