Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program product for providing event indications in an event model in a manner so that indication storms resulting from excessive indication generation and delivery is prevented. An object behavior change in an information model corresponds to an event. An indication of interest is sent to a listener process when the detected object behavior change corresponds to a specified top level indication class in an indication class hierarchy.
Claims21
A method of providing event indications, comprising:
- detecting an object behavior change in an information model, wherein the object behavior change corresponds to an event;
- and
- sending an indication of interest to a listener process in response to the detected object behavior change corresponding to a specified top level indication class in an indication class hierarchy.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having stored thereon computer program instructions for controlling a data processing system, comprising:
- computer program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium for controlling the data processing system to detect an object behavior change in an information model, wherein the object behavior change corresponds to an event;
- and
- computer program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium for controlling the data processing system to send an indication of interest to a listener process in response to the detected object behavior change corresponding to a specified top level indication class in an indication class hierarchy.
An apparatus, comprising a data processing system adapted to:
- detect an object behavior change in an information model, wherein the object behavior change corresponds to an event;
- and
- send an indication of interest to a listener process in response to the detected object behavior change corresponding to a specified top level indication class in an indication class hierarchy.
