Processing objects using Ma Client Server

[Chris Muller]

Hi Hari,

forking from your process block is not normal usage..

The request-handling block above, needs to evaluate to the response
object, but the block above is written as:

    condition1 ifTrue: [ create1 ].
    condition2 ifTrue: [ create2 ]

create1 will *never* be returned.  It'll just create it and then move
on to test condition2.  Every time its false, it'll answer nil, which
is why your client doesn't get a response; because
returning nil is a way to have a request-only type of request (no response).

You can't use return carats, so you need to structure it as a single
expression like this:

   condition1
       ifTrue: [ create1 ]
       ifFalse:
         [ condition2
             ifTrue: [ create2 ]
             ifFalse: [ InvalidRequest signal ] ]

Best,
  Chris
