Well, the title pretty much says it all. I’m calling my server and when it suceeds or fails it calls my didFailWithError method, never calling my didLoadObjects method. I would have expected didFailWithError to be called when, say, I get a 401 back, and didLoadObjects to be called when I get a 200 back.
Here’s how I set up my object mapping:
- (void)setupCreateAccountMapping
{
// mapping for CreateAccount
RKObjectMapping* createAccountSerializationMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[CreateAccount class]];
[createAccountSerializationMapping mapAttributes:@"email", @"pwd", @"uname", nil];
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager].mappingProvider setSerializationMapping:createAccountSerializationMapping forClass:[CreateAccount class]];
// mapping for CheckUserName
RKObjectMapping* checkUserNameSerializationMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[CheckUserName class]];
[checkUserNameSerializationMapping mapAttributes:@"uname", nil];
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager].mappingProvider setSerializationMapping:checkUserNameSerializationMapping forClass:[CheckUserName class]];
router = [RKObjectRouter new] ;
[router routeClass:[CheckUserName class] toResourcePath:@"/registration/rest/users/isavailable" forMethod:RKRequestMethodGET];
[router routeClass:[CreateAccount class] toResourcePath:@"/registration/rest/users/create_account" forMethod:RKRequestMethodPOST];
[RKObjectManager sharedManager].router = router;
}
and here is how I post to the server.
- (IBAction)submitPressed:(id)sender {
CreateAccount* user = [CreateAccount new];
user.email = [emailAddressTextField text];
user.uname = [usernameTextField text];
user.pwd = [passwordTextField text];
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager] postObject:user delegate:self];
}
In didFailWithError I check:
if ([response statusCode] >= 400) {
to see if I succeeded or not and that seems really, really, wrong.
What am I doing wrong here? When I run the sample code I do see didLoadObjects called.
Here is the log from 2 runs, the first unsuccessful and the second successful:
Here we can see me trying to create a user named “andrew” but one already exists. I get a 406 back and didFailWithError is called.

Notice in both cases I’m getting a non-JSON response back from the server, but it is just a string, like the error message or the activation code.
You have your
Content-typeheader set to “application/json” and the response is not a well-formed JSON. I believe the mapping process bails out due to the parsing problem. You can try modifying the server output eg.return a JSON or to set appropriate content type header.
