Hi all,
I have a need to refresh the to-one relationship of an object, so that if
someone in another app or perhaps in a different EOF stack within the same app
has updated the to-one to point to a different object then I want my EO’s to
one to point to the correct EO. I do not want to invalidate the source EO or
refetch it because it may have edits in progress.
I searched in Wonder but I was not able to find anything that does this. I
came up with the code below last night and it seems to work well so far.
Since this is an advanced EOF topic I thought I should share it to see if
anybody wants to code review it, play with it and provide comments on
correctness / recommendations / feedback.
This code uses a primaryKeyQualifier() method in my EO which is practically the
same as the identityQualifier() concept discussed by Aaron Rosenzweig in an
email thread in May of this year.
Thanks in advance for any help.

primaryKeyQualifier(), null);

public EOQualifier primaryKeyQualifier() {
NSDictionary<String, Object> pkDict = primaryKeyDictionary(false /*
inTransaction */);
EOEntity entity = entity();
return entity.qualifierForPrimaryKey(pkDict);
