This is probably a relic of legacy documentation. Long, long ago in a language far, far away from Java, EOCustomObject kept the values in instance variables and EOGenericRecord kept them in a dictionary. I don't know if anyone even uses EOCustomObject these days nor what it does now.

Hi all,

If you check out the docs for EOCustomObject's takeValueForKey and takeStoredValueForKey you will see that there is talk of storing the value in instance variables (_key or key), but there is not talk about storing values in a value dict, which is what most likely happens in the end. Some debugging shows that indeed an EO has a package wide variable called __dictionary, of the _EOMutableKnownKeyDictionary type where values are stored. Nice. Should not that be mentioned in the docs? I guess another entry should be inserted before "make a call to handleTakeValueForUnboundKey" that would say that if the key is a valid property key for that EO, the value is stored in it's dict? Why would this be left out?
