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?
