iphone：Core Data：Where does a Managed Object Context Come From?

Where a managed object context comes from is entirely application-dependent. In a Cocoa document-based application using NSPersistentDocument, the persistent document typically creates the context, and gives you access to it through the managedObjectContext method.

In a single-window application, if you create your project using the standard project assistant, the application delegate (the instance of the AppDelegate class) again creates the context, and gives you access to it through the managedObjectContext method. In this case, however, the code to create the context (and the rest of the Core Data stack) is explicit. It is written for you automatically as part of the template.
