Re: Distributed Objects - bycopy

I've had a similar experience and ended up implementing - replacementObjectForPortCoder: for the classes which I wanted to send bycopy.

I believe NSObject's implementation looks something like

- (id) replacementObjectForPortCoder:(NSPortCoder *)coder
{ return [NSDistantObject proxyWithLocal:self connection:[coder connection]]; }

while arguably it should look like

- (id) replacementObjectForPortCoder:(NSPortCoder *)coder
{
if ([coder isBycopy])
return self;
return [NSDistantObject proxyWithLocal:self connection:[coder connection]];
}

Cheers,
dave

I wrote a client/server application that relies on Distributed Objects to communicate.
I'm extensively using bycopy since I want all data to be transfered at once thus preventing
series of forwarded method calls etc.

But, I figured out that the object received by the client where not actually copied (when debugging I can the they're nsdistantobject or something like that...)
And every call is forwarded to the server
for example, my protocol has methods like this:

- (bycopy NSDictionary *)aMethodThatReturnsADictionary;

the implementation would be :

- (bycopy NSDictionary *)aMethodThatReturnsADictionary
{
return [ NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: @"Hello", @"World", nil ];
}

Am I having the expected behaviour, or did I missed something?
