Object-oriented notification framework system
First Claim
1. An object-oriented notification framework system, comprising:
- (a) means for connecting a plurality of objects to a notification source;
(b) memory means for storing connection information for the plurality of objects in a connection object of an object-oriented operating system;
(c) means for registering connection information, including registration information indicative of a notification status, in the connection object of the object-oriented operating system;
(d) means for selectively dispatching notification to at least one of the plurality of objects based on the registration information stored in the connection object of the object-oriented system; and
(e) means for the at least one of the plurality of objects to receive the notification and take action based on the notification.

Abstract
A system for an object based notification system. The notification system is designed in a flexible manner to support change notification in an object-oriented operating system. The change notification includes a memory for storing connection information including notification routing information and connection registration information. The connection registration information is stored in a connection object of the object-oriented system and the notification system updates the connection object with registration information indicative of enablement or disablement of notification. Then, when a notification event is detected, the object-oriented operating system selectively notifies objects in the system based on the connection registration information stored in the connection object in the memory of the computer system.
