What do you mean? What are you doing, and what do you expect the
results to be?
Yes, it is used by WebObjects internally to broadcast EOF and other
changes across threads.
And does it support posting from on thread to another similiar the
Object-C version of NSDistributedNotificationCenter
Notifications are broadcast in the same thread context that they
are sent in. It is up to the threads getting the notification to
handle the appropriately for whatever work they are engaged in. I
am not sure if that answers your question or not.
Chuck, could you clarify? I'm not sure I read you right. It is my
assumption that the notification center does not do any thread
handling whatsoever. Basically that the callback method is called on
the same thread that posted the notification, without even
considering any other threads involved. Is that what you're saying?
I've always thought NSNotification center is a rather simple,
straight-forward player.
