OK, I'm back.
I have some distributed object code that used to work just great (back in the
Tiger days, I think), and now does not. I see the error: "[NSPortCoder
sendBeforeTime:sendReplyPort:] timed out", when I try to get the rootProxy from
a connection. I see this mentioned here and there on various mailing lists,
but haven't seen any solution.
I need to provide a DO across a network. The simple code Apple provides in the
DO programming guide does work on a single machine:
vend it
/* Assume serverObject has a valid value of an object to be vended. */
NSConnection *theConnection;
theConnection = [NSConnection defaultConnection];
[theConnection setRootObject:serverObject];
if ([theConnection registerName:@"server"] == NO) {
/* Handle error. */
}
get it
id theProxy;
theProxy = [[NSConnection
rootProxyForConnectionWithRegisteredName:@"server"
host:nil] retain];
[theProxy setProtocolForProxy:@protocol(ServerProtocol)];
But if one initializes the connection with an NSSocketPort, which is required
if one wants to talk beyond a single machine, the registerName message fails.
So, I whip out the code that used to work. The few relevant parts listed below:
vend it:
conduitPort = [[NSSocketPort alloc] init];
myConduit = [[ServerConduit alloc] init];
conduitConnection = [[NSConnection alloc] initWithReceivePort:conduitPort
sendPort:nil];
[conduitConnection setRootObject:myConduit];
get it:
- (void)netServiceDidResolveAddress:(NSNetService *)netService{
struct sockaddr *address;
NSConnection* theConnection;
NSSocketPort* thePort;
NSSocketPort* socket;
printf("\resolved address\n");
socket = [[NSSocketPort alloc] init];
if([[netService addresses] count] > 0){
address = (struct sockaddr *)[[[netService addresses]
objectAtIndex:0] bytes];
thePort = [[NSSocketPort alloc]
initRemoteWithProtocolFamily:address->sa_family socketType:SOCK_STREAM
protocol:0 address:[[netService addresses]
objectAtIndex:0]];
theConnection = [[NSConnection alloc] initWithReceivePort:nil
sendPort:thePort];
[thePort release];
id theProxy = [theConnection rootProxy];
}else{
NSLog(@"Could not find an address for the service.");
}
}
When I call rootProxy, I get the time out error. Does anyone have a
dirt-simple sample app I can look at that vends, and gets, a DO over a network
on 10.5 or later?!
Thanks for the help,
Eric
