Hi Amy, ManagedObjectContext on iOS is a similar, but different animal than EOEditingContext on server-side java.
At the end of the day, EOF is most likely the reason that WebObjects was never completely open sourced some years after NeXT got Apple back and it no longer was even remotely any kind of significant revenue stream. Hence from there however, the technology was leveraged by Apple into iOS. I would expect that Apple considers CoreData a competitive advantage for the iOS platform, and given its history from EOF, and just being done right in the first place, completely makes sense. I also imagine at some point there will be similar developer frameworks for Android but most likely they will be a few years out and probably still less elegant given the mindset I have seen from Google frameworks like GWT and such. Just my 2-cents. - Mike On Jun 15, 2011, at 9:23 AM, Amy Worrall wrote: > On Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 3:32 PM, Jesse Tayler <[email protected]> wrote: >> what is it really that you need to be removed? >> you don't want to use the monitor and load balance or taskd stuff? or you >> can't install something in some environment? > > Thanks guys! > > This is the point I confess I'm trying to do something a little crazy… > I work for an iOS development house and we've been asked to do an > Android port of an app. My boss tasked us with finding the closest > thing to Core Data that will run on Android.
