Question

Currently, I have a class that is parsing XML and sending the dictionary that the XML is parsed to to a view controller.

Here is a snippet of the code that sends the dictionary to the other class (where “response” is the dictionary):

if ([elementName isEqualToString:@"SessionData"]) 
{
// We reached the end of the XML document
// dumps dictionary into log
NSLog(@"Dump:%@", [response description]);

// sends dictionary to the VC
CardSetupViewController *setup = [[CardSetupViewController alloc]init];
setup.response = self.response;

//checks
NSLog(@"%@ lololololol", [setup.response description]); //THIS WORKS FINE!!
return;
}

At that point, the code works fine. That NSLog marked with //THIS WORKS FINE!! works… obviously. Here is the method in the ViewController:

- (BOOL)authorize //this 
{
    AddCard *addCard = [[AddCard alloc]init];
    ServerConnection *connection = [[ServerConnection alloc]init];
    //XMLParser *xmlParser = [[XMLParser alloc]initXMLParser];

    //serverReturn posts the data and is the ACTUAL server response in NSData form
    NSData *serverReturn = [connection postData:[addCard textBoxToXml:
                                                    [self nameOnCardGet]:
                                                    [self ccNumGet]:
                                                    [self expMoGet]:
                                                    [self expYrGet]:
                                                    [self cvvGet]:
                                                    [self zipGet]:
                                                    [self nickNameGet]:
                                                    [self pinGet]]];

    //This takes the information from the server and parses it to "response"
    //Creates and inits NSXMLParser Object
    NSXMLParser *nsXmlparser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:serverReturn];
    //Create and init our delegate
    XMLParser *parser = [[XMLParser alloc] initXMLParser];
    //set delegate
    [nsXmlparser setDelegate:(id <NSXMLParserDelegate>) parser];



    //initiates self.response THIS MAY NOT BE NEEDED
    //response = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];

    //parsing
    BOOL success = [nsXmlparser parse];
    //error catch testing
    if (success) {
        NSLog(@"No errors");
    } 
    else {
        NSLog(@"Error parsing document!");
    }
    //dump   
    NSLog(@"ZOMG CHECK DIS OUT%@", [response description]);
    return NO;
}

Basically, the NSLog that states “ZOMG CHECK DIS OUT” is returning (null) and I can’t figure out why. No compilation errors, it is a property/synthesize as well. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance. Oh, and please excuse my NSLog comments. I had to differentiate from different parts of the code, and I was in a good mood.

Edit: I am using Automatic Reference Counting. Don’t worry, nothing is leaking.

In your first code block, you generate a CardSetupViewController and then leak it. It is unrelated to whatever object is running the second code block. I assume that your second view controller is from your NIB?

Note that you’re also leaking your NSXMLParser.
