The problem is that methodSignatureForSelector is sent before forwardInvocation so I don't have a chance to simply change the invocation target. At this point, the only thing that comes to mind is to change the implementation of - [B methodSignatureForSelector] to check whether B responds to the selector (as in the example at the end). But then what do I return if I find out that respondsToSelector is YES? I can't return [self methodSignatureForselector:selector] because it will start calling itself recursively.

This is the right thing to do, and you can call [super methodSignatureForselector:selector] to get the original (NSObject) implementation.

Of course! This worked.

Is this kind of double forwarding a bad idea in principle or am I missing some [hopefully more elegant] way to resolve this?

It is a quite complicated thing to do, but certainly possible. You don't say which problem you are trying to solve, so it is difficult to give you advise about better solutions.


I didn't really intend for this situation to occur. What is happening is I have a controller (fooA, please see original post) and a model (fooB). There are quite a few messages that the controller forwards straight to the model.

On the other hand the model is an interface for a complex embedded data structure (fooC) and it just happens that the model forwards a set of messages directly to the data structure.

That's what got me into the double forwarding mess. Does the above sound like the wrong thing to do (conceptually, I mean, is it a poor design)?
