I'm using RestKit 0.20. I'm trying to download the json response from the local rails application and save it to core-data. I tried to follow https://github.com/RestKit/RKGist/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md and everything worked fine.
I wanted to use this many times so i made it a base class(ListController) and subclassed it to SessionListController and EventListController. The mapping is provided in AppDelegate.m.
The app has a first viewcontroller which is the root controller which always maps the responses and everything works fine. But as soon as i change the viewcontroller i will get the response and the operation stops. it does't even say if the mapping has started. I'm not sure what i have missed.
Here i'm initialising restkit
AppDelegate.m
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@implementation AppDelegate
RKEntityMapping *eventEntityMapping,*sessionEntitiyMapping;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
NSError *error = nil;
NSURL *modelURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"event" ofType:@"momd"]];

[self setManagedObjectStore: [[RKManagedObjectStore alloc] initWithManagedObjectModel:managedObjectModel]];
// Initialize the Core Data stack
[self.managedObjectStore createPersistentStoreCoordinator];
NSPersistentStore __unused *persistentStore = [self.managedObjectStore addInMemoryPersistentStore:&error];
NSAssert(persistentStore, @"Failed to add persistent store: %@", error);
[self.managedObjectStore createManagedObjectContexts];
// Set the default store shared instance
[RKManagedObjectStore setDefaultStore:self.managedObjectStore];
NSString *url=@"http://192.168.11.11:3000";
RKObjectManager *objectManager = [RKObjectManager managerWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
objectManager.managedObjectStore = self.managedObjectStore;
[RKObjectManager setSharedManager:objectManager];

return YES;
}
-(void)mapEntities{

Base class where i'm calling getObjectsAtPath for RKManager depending on the base class.

This is one of the base classes where i set the model name
EventViewController.m
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.model=Eventm;
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
SessionViewController.m
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.model=Sessionm;
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}

After using
RKLogConfigureByName("RestKit", RKLogLevelWarning);
RKLogConfigureByName("RestKit/ObjectMapping", RKLogLevelTrace);
RKLogConfigureByName("RestKit/Network", RKLogLevelTrace);
I can see that, i'm getting proper Http response but it is not being mapped. Which i'm not sure why?
