Deprecated API

Enterprise Objects Framework 3.0 introduces API improvements that require deprecating existing API. You'll still be able to use deprecated API, but you'll receive a warning at runtime. The following tables summarize the deprecated API.


Fetch Specification Hint Keys
Old API	New API
EOPrefetchingRelationshipHintKey (Objective-C) FetchSpecification.PrefetchingRelationshipHintKey and DatabaseContext.PrefetchingRelationshipHintKey (Java)	EOFetchSpecification's accessor methods, prefetchingRelationshipKeyPaths and setPrefetchingRelationshipKeyPaths:
EOFetchLimitHintKey (Objective-C) DatabaseContext.FetchLimitHintKey (Java)	EOFetchSpecification's accessor methods, fetchLimit and setFetchLimit:
EOPromptAfterFetchLimitHintKey (Objective-C) DatabaseContext.PromptAfterFetchLimitHintKey (Java)	EOFetchSpecification's accessor methods, promptsAfterFetchLimit and setPromptsAfterFetchLimit:


EOClassDescription
