Hi Fabian,


Thanks for the reply. This is (more or less) what I am doing now. I have a method provided in the common superclass that fires the event, the only difference from your approach is that I do it after the change has occurred. What I wanted to do was get rid of the EOGenerator / custom setter dependancy... End goal being event firing without the need for per-entity subclasses that keep doing the same thing anyway.

I think I don't really get your point? As I understand this, you would need a common superclass anyway, even if overriding takeStoredValueForKey would be ok. If you've got a requirement shared by all your EOs to react on the change of any attribute, you could handle it in the superclass?

From your post I assume this didn't work for you?

Well, I'm happy with the current setup, it served me well.

I've been down that road as well. storedValueForKey is used behind the scenes by EOF. I ended up putting a method in a common superclass:

public void willChange(Object oldValue, Object newValue, String key) {
       // to be used by subclasses
   }

And then placing this in the setters created by EOGenerator:

   willChange(storedValueForKey("theKey"), value, "theKey");



When I need this fine-grained change tracking on an EO, I fill in the willChange() method.

HTH,

Fabian
