  • registering a container of connection points of an application with a communication manager upon instantiation of the application;

    storing a registration map in the communication manager of registered containers of connection points; and

    upon instantiation of the application, determining by the communication manager if the instantiated application includes one or more listeners; and

    if the communication manager determines that the instantiated application includes one or more listeners;

    searching through the registration map for at least one connection point having a given connection point type; and

    connecting at least one listener of the instantiated application having the given connection point type with the at least one connection point resulting from the searching.
