Hi James,

You can use reflection to call that entity’s static method. You just need to discover the corresponding class name for that entity in the first place.

String entityName = "YourEntityName";

EOEntity entity = EOModelGroup.defaultGroup().entityNamed(entityName);

Class<?> clazz = Class.forName(entity.className());

Method method = clazz.getMethod("yourStaticMethodName");

method.invoke(null);

Is that what you want?

Cheers,

Henrique

I have a string that is an EntityName.
I want to run that entity’s static class method.

do I have to do this?:

       EOEnterpriseObject myClass = EOUtilities.createAndInsertInstance( ec, entityName) ;

I really don’t want to create an instance.

Thanks
James
