Thanks Ken that worked
I wrapped up the solution in an NSConnection category in case others run into
this problem
@interface NSConnection (NetworkServiceAdditions)
+ (id) networkServiceConnectionWithName:(NSString *) inName
rootObject:(id) inRootObject;
@end
@implementation NSConnection (NetworkServiceAdditions)
+ (id) networkServiceConnectionWithName:(NSString *) inName
rootObject:(id) inRootObject;
{
NSSocketPort *port = [[NSSocketPort alloc] init];
NSConnection *connection = [NSConnection
connectionWithReceivePort: port sendPort: nil];
[[NSSocketPortNameServer sharedInstance] registerPort: port name:
inName];
[connection setRootObject: inRootObject];
return connection;
}
@end
