Question

I’m an asp.net developer and starting to learn objective c. Been struggling for days to find a fix for this:

I’m completely new to ios development so forgive me if my question sound stupid.

I have 2 table view controllers:

AnnouncementsTableViewController and NewsTableViewController.

For each of these controllers Im calling a web service using rest kit:
Here’s my code in NewsTableViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self sendRequest];

}
- (void)sendRequest
{

//set the base URL
RKURL *baseURL = [RKURL URLWithBaseURLString:@"http://someurl.com/WcfDataService.svc"];
NSString *format=@"json";
NSString *un = @"blah";
NSString *pw = @"blah";

RKObjectManager *objectManager1 = [RKObjectManager objectManagerWithBaseURL:baseURL];
objectManager1.client.baseURL = baseURL;


NSDictionary *queryParams;
queryParams = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:format,@"format", nil];

objectManager1.client.username=un;
objectManager1.client.password=pw;

//set news mapping

RKObjectMapping *newsMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[News class]];


[newsMapping setSetDefaultValueForMissingAttributes:true]; 
[newsMapping mapKeyPath:@"NEWSTITLE" 
            toAttribute:@"name"]; 

[newsMapping mapKeyPath:@"NEWSBODY" 
            toAttribute:@"newsBody"]; 


 RKURL *newsURL = [RKURL URLWithBaseURL:[objectManager1 baseURL] resourcePath:@"/NEWS"   queryParameters:queryParams];


 [objectManager1 loadObjectsAtResourcePath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@?$%@", [newsURL resourcePath], [newsURL query]] usingBlock:^(RKObjectLoader *loader) 

 {

     [loader.mappingProvider setObjectMapping:newsMapping forKeyPath:@"d"];

     loader.method = RKRequestMethodGET;

     loader.delegate = self;

     loader.userData=@"NewsData";
 }];

}

- (void)objectLoader:(RKObjectLoader *)objectLoader didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
NSLog(@"Error: %@", [error localizedDescription]);
}

- (void)request:(RKRequest*)request didLoadResponse:(RKResponse*)response {
NSLog(@"response code: %d", [response statusCode]);
}

- (void)objectLoader:(RKObjectLoader *)objectLoader didLoadObjects:(NSArray *)objects
{
NSString* source = (NSString*) objectLoader.userData;

NSLog(@"objects[%d]", [objects count]);
NSLog(@"%@", source);
data2 = objects;


 [self.tableView reloadData];

}

And I’m doing the exact same code as above on AnnouncementsViewController (just changing the base URL and mappings).

Problem is it only loads for the newstableviewcontroller and not on announcements.

I have read this https://github.com/RestKit/RestKit/wiki/Using-Multiple-Base-URLs-%28and-Multiple-Object-Managers%29

but cant seem to understand and apply on my code.

I hope someone can shed some light!

Best regards,

@PauldeLange thanks for taking time to respond. I’ve finally fixed it. This line is just what did the magic:

 RKObjectManager *objectManager =  [RKObjectManager sharedManager];
