文档中对嵌套上下文的讨论有限,它只出现在“iOS v5.0 的核心数据发行说明”中,并且在UIManagedDocument
. 关于获取和嵌套上下文的唯一评论是:
获取和保存操作由父上下文而不是协调器进行调解。
鉴于缺少与嵌套上下文批量获取功能相关的任何免责声明,我建议不要期望批量获取和嵌套上下文不兼容。但是,这似乎是这种情况,因为最基本的示例不起作用。(见下面的测试代码)。
这里还有一个描述相同问题的开放雷达提交:http: //openradar.appspot.com/11235622,以及 FetchedResultsControllers 和嵌套上下文注意到的其他问题:当子 ManagedObjectContext 进行更改时实体重复被推送(保存)给它的父母。
一个可能的部分解决方案可能是直接添加一个额外NSManagedObjectContext
的,仅用于服务于. 然后,当用户选择项目时,可以将 ObjectIDs 交回嵌套的子上下文,然后可以在嵌套的上下文中执行任何后续编辑。NSMainQueueConcurrencyType
NSPersistentStoreCoordinator
NSFetchedResultsController
这显然会降低使用嵌套上下文的好处,并且需要更频繁地保存以在嵌套上下文和NSFetchedResultsControllers
上下文之间进行同步。但是,根据应用程序的设计以及嵌套上下文与批量加载的相对优势,这可能很有用。(见下面的示例代码)
测试代码显示嵌套上下文中最简单的案例批量获取失败:
