Re: ... loading XML store type into in-memory store...

I want to load some external data from a server source and load it to a local store. I have control on both ends.

Right now, I am trying to load the keys/values from a property list using setValuesForKeysWithDictionary: (the dataset size is small)

I tried pointing the persistentStoreCooridator to URLWithString:@"http://url";,
but that doesn't work.

Essentially, I'm trying to take the simplest route possible, without having to iterate through values, etc.

Any suggestions? 

Sure.

- As you have discovered, the persistent store coordinator only takes file:// URLs. So, you will need to download the data to the local disk first.

- Is the data at that URL really an XML store as saved by Core Data? I ask the obvious as some folks have been under the mistaken impression that "XML Store" means "any random XML document".

If it is an XML store, then you could use NSURL to download the data and add the resulting file as an XML store to a persistent store coordinator instance.

If not, you will need to write the code necessary to walk the XML document and produce the appropriate Core Data entity instances. In this case, an in-memory store is certainly appropriate assuming said data never needs to be persisted to disk locally. This will require traversing the document (the DOM) and turning it into a Core Data object model.
