Event notification

An apparatus for providing consistency in display of server-provided data, comprising:

• a server including a server instance and operable to send a notification from the server instance to a second control instance in response to receiving a request to make a change to server-provided data from a first control instance, wherein
• the second control instance sends the notification to a third control instance, and
• the third control instance displays the change to the server-provided data in response to receiving the notification, wherein a first window displays the change to the server-provided data prior to the server sending the notification to the second control instance, the first window being associated with the first control instance, and a third window associated with the third control instance displays the change to the server-provided data.

A computer readable storage medium comprising program code for providing consistency in display of server provided data, comprising:

• providing instructions for sending a notification from a server instance to a second control instance in response to receiving a request to make a change to server-provided data from a first control instance, wherein
• the second control instance sends the notification to a third control instance, and
• the third control instance displays the change to the server-provided data in response to receiving the notification, wherein the first control instance displays the change to the server-provided data prior to the third control instance displaying the change to the server-provided data, and at least one of the first and third control instances does not maintain connections with the server instance.
