Hi Rush. I wrote the Thrift Cocoa library code and generators so
(hopefully) I can help you out.
The code in lib/cocoa/src is well suited for a framework but I never
got around to making one. Patches welcome, as they say. ;)
If you're going to be running a server in Cocoa one thing to keep in
mind is, well, that code's never really been used yet...
For a client, that stuff is in pretty good shape except for the
complete lack of comments. If you wanted to create a client using the
binary protocol on the HTTP transport you would start with something
like this:
// create a new thrfit HTTP client transport for each URL
THTTPClient * myTransport = [[THTTPClient alloc] initWithURL: [NSURL
URLWithString: @"http://myserver.example.com";]];
// create thrift binary protocol on top of transport
TBinaryProtocol * myProtocol = [[TBinaryProtocol alloc]
initWithTransport: myTransport];
// and lastly but not leastly, create actual thrift service client on
top of protocol
MyThriftServiceClient * client = [[MyThriftServiceClient alloc]
initWithProtocol: myProtocol];
[client doSomething];
Hope this helps.

We have generated a Cocoa services interface and the objects it

in lib/cocoa/src? It seems intended to be used to make a framework
or library, but there is neither Makefile nor Xcode project to
accomplish this.
Can anyone offer some guidance?
Thanks,
