EOEntity entity = EOModelGroup.defaultModelGroup().entityNamed(entityName);
Class class = _NSUtilities.classWithName(entity.className());
Method method = class.getMethod(methodName, parameterTypes);
method.invoke(null, parameters); //null target for static methods

You could do it through java’s reflection APIs, but that sounds really fishy. Maybe if you explain what you are trying to accomplish, we could offer better insight. For instance, you may be better served using the clazz pattern if you want static methods you can override.

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
