Abstract

See full text

The present invention extends to checking for and accessing software component updates through a common content manager. A content communication aggregates the received message states of software components into a aggregated update request representing the message state of the software components. The content communication manager sends and a content manger receives the aggregated update request. The content manager determines if updated content for any software components is available. The content manager generates a message list including any messages that are to be sent to the one or more software components. Each message in the message list corresponds to a software component and indicating if any content is available for the software component. The content manager sends and the content communication manager receives the message list. The content communication manager distributes messages to corresponding software components such that the software components can subsequently access any available content.
