I'm writing a Core Data application in Objective-C/Cocoa, and I'm finding it frustrating to deal with my integer attributes programmatically. Here's why: //img is a managed object that I have ...

The object is locked on a "begin transaction", several other calls are made with the lock in place, and then it's released with a "commit". I'm writing a JNI glue layer to access this code from Java, but the lock is behaving differently in JNI vs pure ...

The problem is that I have certain properties on an entity that i don't want affected back during an undo and other properties that I do want rolled back. Is this possible without drastically changing things. If so what is the be...
