## Declaration

```occ
@property (retain, readonly) id conversation;
```

## Return Value

Return Value The token object representing the conversation in which the receiver was created.

## Discussion

Discussion If both ends of the distributed objects connection has independentConversationQueueing set to false (the default), the conversation object is always nil. Otherwise, it is either a proxy (or a copy) of the object created by the sender of the message or a locally created object, depending which end of the connection has independent queueing on.
