Yes, and it failed miserably. If you do use DO (for some ungodly reason), don't vend the Core Data objects directly. Instead, vend some dedicated DO-oriented objects and use container classes like dictionaries to implement your protocol on top of that. > I also need to be able to pass more sizeable files around between the > instances from time to time. > I'm thinking an NSFileHandle returned from my 'vended' server class but I'm > not sure if an NSFileHandle is of any use to the remote client.

Depending on how big they are, you might point all the clients at the same NFS share, or maybe you could beam the files back and forth directly if they're small enough. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
