Mac OS X Reference Library Networking, Internet, & Web: Sockets & TCP NSConnection Class ReferenceA method identified as deprecated has been superseded and may become unsupported in the future.
Returns the default NSConnection object for the current thread. (Deprecated in Mac OS X v10.6. Use [[NSConnection new] autorelease] to create a unique connection instead.)
+ (NSConnection *)defaultConnection
The default NSConnection object for the current thread, creating it if necessary.
The default NSConnection object uses a single NSPort object for both receiving and sending and is useful only for vending an object; use the setRootObject: and registerName: methods to do this.
The singleton method of NSConnection has been deprecated. It was difficult to ensure that the shared connection wasn’t being used by other operations on the thread on which the defaultConnection was requested. Using [[NSConnection new] autorelease] ensures that you get a unique connection object, preventing such collisions.
