I'm trying to decide on an approach and wondered if you guys ad any thoughts...
I'm wanting to build an app which functions as both server and client - performing reasonably simple querying and file management between instances of the app across a LAN. each instance needs to keep it's own persistent data as well as be able to query, read and write data from other instances on the local network. on the face of it coreData with bindings seems a good fit except for the multi client nature of this project. it seems like a few people have had a go at using Distributed Objects with the coreData classes but the documentation seems to suggest it's not really set up to work like that. has anyone here tried this? I also need to be able to pass more sizeable files around between the instances from time to time. I'm thinking an NSFileHandle returned from my 'vended' server class but I'm not sure if an NSFileHandle is of any use to the remote client. could that work? is there a better way of passing whole files between apps like this? justin _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
