Here, I tried to send Asynchronous call to python server using SBJson framework. For continuous multiple call with same request, gives null value in response string.

here, what I tried :

- (NSURLConnection *) GetHttpConnection:(NSString *)Path:(NSDictionary *)requestData:(UIView *)appView {
    NSString *jsonReq = nil;
    NSData *reqData = nil;

    if (requestData != nil) {
        jsonReq = [requestData JSONRepresentation];
        reqData=[NSData dataWithBytes:[jsonReq UTF8String] length:[jsonReq length]];
    }
    NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@", URL, Path];
    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
    [request setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Accept"];
    [request setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
    if (reqData) {
        [request setHTTPBody:reqData];
    }
    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
    NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc]initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
    if (connection) {
        responseData = [[NSMutableData data] retain];
    }
    return connection;
 }

- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection {
    [connection release];
    NSString *responseString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog(@"Connection Finish Loading >>>>> %@",responseString);    
    responseData = nil;
    if (responseString && [responseString JSONValue] != nil) {
       // process response string and send response back to delegate method
    }
  }


- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSMutableData*)data {
    [responseData appendData:data];
}

After tracing NSlog responses, I found this, If I send same request 3 times (by pressing Update detail button) connectionDidFinishLoading should call 3 times and it is calling it. but for any (one) request the respective response data returns null. Thats why the JSON stated below

JSONValue failed. Error trace is: ( "Error Domain=org.brautaset.JSON.ErrorDomain Code=11 \"Unexpected end of string\" UserInfo=0x909d4b0 {NSLocalizedDescription=Unexpected end of string}"

How can I overcome from this scenario? or Is there anything wrong in the code?

Thanks!

  • are you implementing also `-(void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data` delegate method? I cannot see it here – lupatus Nov 27 '12 at 13:47
  • @Yajushi, FYI the opening brace for `requestData` appear to have no closing – vladr Nov 27 '12 at 14:23

Your class is not re-entrant as there's only one reference to responseData. If two requests run at the same time Bad Things Will Happen. For this to work you'll need to either put your requestData in a dictionary keyed by the NSURLConnection, or create another instance of your downloader for each request.
