Actually that didn't work... it appears to be setting it as I go through the set method, but when I go to get it it is almost as if it is calling an object in a different memory set.

I set up the protocol, and I am using bycopy.

Thanks,

Justin Giboney

Uh, OK. Glad it helped, but your original problem is still mysterious. I don't know about you, but I don't like blindly fixing things without understanding them.


Does this mean though that I need to duplicate all of methods, with one set for internal commands and one for remote commands?

No.

The proper thing to do is to declare a protocol which describes the interface that your vended object exposes. This protocol should be in a header file that both the client and the server can include. The protocol should have all of the type qualifiers that are appropriate.

In the server, have the class of your vended object adopt the protocol. However, you only need to implement each method once. The use of type qualifiers in no way requires that you duplicate methods. For uses internal to the server, the protocol and its type qualifiers won't make any difference.

In the client, it is best to use -[NSDistantObject setProtocolForProxy:] to help the D.O. system avoid some overhead. If you don't do that, then D.O. has to discover the interface of the vended object by querying the server.

Lastly, you might want to use NSProtocolChecker in the server if your vended object has some methods that a client should not be able to invoke.
