Question

I’m working with a static class that only delegate methods to an instance of another class. It’s a kind of wrapper for Core Data context :

implementation CoreDataUtil

static NSManagedObjectContext* context; 

+ saveContext {
    [context saveContext];
}

... (several static methods)

@end

I’m not very happy with this approach. So I re-designed all differently.

For legacy considerations (old calls to CoreDataUtil class methods), I would like to keep the CoreData class. I would like it to “redirect” undefined methods to another instance.

I know it can be done for instance method with the ‘forwardingTargetForSelector’. But I would like the same mecanism for class method (that redirects to instance methods).

Thanks.

Answer 1

I had a similar problem myself and tried a lot of things, including the ones described in my question here: forwardInvocation to other class instead of instance

After all, unfortunately it doesn’t seem possible to catch method calls on the “static”, i. e. class method, level.
