Hi,

I am working on an app that will asynchronous to load data. Suppose I have a
view controller with a method:

in MyViewController:

- (void) loadData {
    DataHandler *myHandler = [[DataHandler alloc] init];
    // set this view controller itself as a delegate, when the data loading
finished, myHandler will call its callback method
    myHandler.delegate = self;
    [myHandler startAsyncLoading];
}

// callback method get called by DataHandler when the data loading is done

- (void) myCallback:(id)responseData {
    // setup the data source to be used later
}

In the DataHandler class, it will use NSURLConnection to call a webservice
to load the data asynchronous. And
it has a delegate instance variable which points to the MyViewController,
when
connectionDidFinishLoading is called, I will do like this:

- (void) connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection {
    // do something
    [delegate myCallback:self];
    // point 1
}

My question is, when should I release the myHandler? Should I release it in
the myCallback, but after
myCallback method finishes, it will return point 1 indicated as above, and
that myHandler instance is just
released.

Or there is a better way to deal with async object? I also wonder how
NSURLConnection class handle this itself.

Thanks.
