It was actually deprecated in 10.5 according to the header, and the 10.5 release notes explain:

Deprecated NSRunLoop API
The -configureAsServer method is deprecated in 10.5. It never did anything, so there was never a point in calling it in Mac OS X.



Since time immemorial the implementation looked like this:

- (void)configureAsServer {
}

So any apparently beneficial effect of calling it was entirely coincidental.

Hi,
When I use [[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] configureAsServer]; after creating a service using NSConnection, it works.
But -configureAsServer is declared as deprecated with no alternative suggested.
I tried removing it and the code doesn't work.


server code snippet: (doesn't work)

MYMessageServer *server = self;// here "self" is in instance of MyMessageServer class
NSConnection *defaultConnection;
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:server
selector:@selector(connectionDidDie:)
name:NSConnectionDidDieNotification
object:nil];
defaultConnection = [NSConnection serviceConnectionWithName:@"MyCompanyName.MyProductName.serverFull" rootObject:server];
[defaultConnection addRunLoop:[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop]];
// not doing [[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] run]; here as its the main thread.


Client code snippet:
server = [[NSConnection rootProxyForConnectionWithRegisteredName :@"MyCompanyName.MyProductName.serverFull" host:nil] retain];
server is nil after the above line is executed.


Where can I find a simple implementation?
Or what changes to make to the above code?

Thanks,
Nick
