encodeWithCoder Not getting called

Question

I have an object (testSession) that complies to NSCoder and when I use:

[NSKeyedArchiver archiveRootObject:testSession toFile:filename];

It has:

@interface Session : NSObject <NSCoding> {

and has encodeWithCoder: and initWithCoder: functions. Neither are getting called. What would prevent this?

- (void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)encoder
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder

Do these need to be declared in the header?

Since your class conforms to the NSCoding protocol, you do not need to declare the methods in your header. — Jacob Relkin

I haven't been. So what would prevent encodeWithCoder: from being called? — Dane Man

WHOOPS! I forgot to retain my testSession object after creating it. I'm a tad rusty :P
