createInstanceWithEditingContext

public java.lang.Object createInstanceWithEditingContext(EOEditingContext ec,
                                                         EOGlobalID gid)

Description copied from class: EOClassDescription

Creates a new instance of the class represented by this class description, registering it with the specified editing context and global id. The class description may not keep references to the newly created object. The editing context and/or the id may be null. This implementation constructs a new instance of the class and registers it with the specified editing context. If the global id is specified, the object will be populated with the appropriate data, otherwise the object will be treated as a newly inserted object. If no editing context is specified, the global id is ignored and the new instance of the class is returned.

Overrides:

createInstanceWithEditingContext in class EOClassDescription
