1- Ok, that confirms my opinion. Maybe in a sheet or in another window (where user can edit and create mo) should we use another moc ?

Others may correct me but one MOC per NSPersistentStore per thread is a good rule. I would not use a different MOC for another window just another thread.


2- Yes, I meant subclass of mo.
For sure, but if you want to access the moc in a + classMethod (of i.e Department.m), [self managedObjectContext] does not work, because "self" (the class) is not a mo.
That's why i used this path which works, but it seems to me it is not so good to use it, maybe a source of conflicts when many docs are opened :


+ myClassMethod {
....
...[[[NSDocumentController sharedDocumentController] currentDocument] managedObjectContext]]...;
....
}



Perhaps you should pass in the MOC. But based on your previous code samples, the two objects you pass into this class method are also MOs and therefore have a reference to the appropriate MOC. Personally in this situation I would pass in a reference to the MOC because according to the documentation you do not have a guarantee that [NSManagedObject managedObjectContext] will return a reference.


3- Ok for the MVC, but if you want to access to the selectedObject of a controller inside the code of your Department.m ? Maybe all the communications with controllers should be managed by MyDocument and then results of these "questions to the controller" should be retrieved from MyDocument by Department.m ? In that case, how can I access a result of a method in MyDocument from Department.m ? Using @import (I think it will work only for class method, won't it ?) ?

PS - As you can see my problem is mainly communications-based...:-)...
I understand standard MVC-outlets-actions, I understand controllers&bindings, I understand CoreData structure, but it is another story to find the good way to make all of these things playing together, especially if you need to go a little bit out of the main working !
