More than one RKObjectManager at a time (RestKit 0.10.3)

Question

I looked on stackoverflow and found this topic:

More than one RKObjectManager at a time (RestKit)

Unfortunately it is not anymore accurate with the current RetKit as the method:

[[RKObjectManager sharedManager] loadObjectsAtResourcePath:@"/whatever" delegate:self]

returns a void.

So how can I distinguish the different objectLoaders in the method:

- (void)objectLoader:(RKObjectLoader *)objectLoader didLoadObjects:(NSArray *)objects

Or is there a better method to have multiple requests with different URLs? As if I only use one manager, only the last requests call gets executed, and I need to set the manager manually to null to work the second time.

Any help on how to best manage multiple request calls in a short amount of time and to distinguish between them would be great.

Couldn't you have different delegates for different "loadObjects" calls?

Well this is certainly one solution, but what if the delegate needs to respond to multiple objectLoader requests differently? – Aranir Oct 10 '12 at 08:47

After trying many different things I finally found the new equivalent in the documentation.

The trick is to use a block and assing the loader.userData inside the block:

[self.manager loadObjectsAtResourcePath:filter usingBlock: ^(RKObjectLoader *loader) {
        loader.userData = @"identifier";
        loader.delegate = self;
    }];

Where the self.manager just a normal RKObjectManager with appropriate mapping is.
