Abstract

A system and method for providing federated events to content management systems is described. A virtual content repository is provided that federates content from one or more underlying repositories and presents it to clients as though it were contained within one data store. The virtual content repository can include a plurality of nodes having binary property values and metadata properties. A federated event can be defined and associated with an operation in the virtual content repository. The operation can be any of create, read, update, delete, configure and other content operations. Event listeners can then be registered to receive the federated events upon an occurrence of the operation in the virtual content repository and can be further adapted to perform various programmatic functions upon receiving the event object. In this manner, federated events can provide improved system integration and maintenance for content operations across a multitude of underlying content repositories.
