I hope my question made sense. I've got an NSTableView that I want
to use to display rows of data from a database. I'm using Bindings,
KVC-style accessors, and an NSArrayController to manage the model-
view data flow. But I'm having trouble turning the spigot on ;) I'm
not getting my data rows to display in the tableView.
The most promising approach seems to be overriding awakeFromNib: in
MyDocument.m. How would I connect the NSArrayController to this
layer of the app's controller? Am I barking up the right tree at least?
Thanks again!

p.s. I've read Apple's doco on bindings and am following Hillegas'
book; so I can create data from scratch in my tableView. Still, how
do I load data that already exists into an NSTableView?

If a nib file's NSArrayController's ObjectClassName parameter
corresponds with an implementation file of a class I created with
KVC-style accessors (the M-V-C model), then shouldn't the model
class' init: method get called when I run the app? I note that my
init: method's NSLog statement is never returned.
Seems that somewhere, I'm not connecting the dots.
Following the property list Dict example in http://
developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/TableView/
index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000026i), where should this Dict
live so that the NSTableView's NSArrayController can find the data
and display it? In the model class' init: method? Is there a
method I should be overriding to trigger a data load?
Thanks in advance!
Scott
