Dictionary Getting Released? - iphone

Question

Currently, I have a class that is parsing XML and sending the dictionary that the XML is parsed to to a view controller.
Here is a snippet of the code that sends the dictionary to the other class (where "response" is the dictionary):
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"SessionData"])
{
// We reached the end of the XML document
// dumps dictionary into log
NSLog(#"Dump:%#", [response description]);
// sends dictionary to the VC
CardSetupViewController *setup = [[CardSetupViewController alloc]init];
setup.response = self.response;
//checks
NSLog(#"%# lololololol", [setup.response description]); //THIS WORKS FINE!!
return;
}
At that point, the code works fine. That NSLog marked with //THIS WORKS FINE!! works... obviously. Here is the method in the ViewController:
- (BOOL)authorize //this
{
AddCard *addCard = [[AddCard alloc]init];
ServerConnection *connection = [[ServerConnection alloc]init];
//XMLParser *xmlParser = [[XMLParser alloc]initXMLParser];
//serverReturn posts the data and is the ACTUAL server response in NSData form
NSData *serverReturn = [connection postData:[addCard textBoxToXml:
[self nameOnCardGet]:
[self ccNumGet]:
[self expMoGet]:
[self expYrGet]:
[self cvvGet]:
[self zipGet]:
[self nickNameGet]:
[self pinGet]]];
//This takes the information from the server and parses it to "response"
//Creates and inits NSXMLParser Object
NSXMLParser *nsXmlparser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:serverReturn];
//Create and init our delegate
XMLParser *parser = [[XMLParser alloc] initXMLParser];
//set delegate
[nsXmlparser setDelegate:(id <NSXMLParserDelegate>) parser];
//initiates self.response THIS MAY NOT BE NEEDED
//response = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
//parsing
BOOL success = [nsXmlparser parse];
//error catch testing
if (success) {
NSLog(#"No errors");
}
else {
NSLog(#"Error parsing document!");
}
//dump
NSLog(#"ZOMG CHECK DIS OUT%#", [response description]);
return NO;
}
Basically, the NSLog that states "ZOMG CHECK DIS OUT" is returning (null) and I can't figure out why. No compilation errors, it is a property/synthesize as well. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance. Oh, and please excuse my NSLog comments. I had to differentiate from different parts of the code, and I was in a good mood.
Edit: I am using Automatic Reference Counting. Don't worry, nothing is leaking.

Answer 1

In your first code block, you generate a CardSetupViewController and then leak it. It is unrelated to whatever object is running the second code block. I assume that your second view controller is from your NIB?
Note that you're also leaking your NSXMLParser.

Answer 2

Your [response description], whatever that is, is probably an autoreleased object that gets released before ZOMG CHECK DIS OUT. Retain it and see if that works. Don't forget to release it when you're done with it.
