Abstract

See full text

An embodiment of the invention includes a method and apparatus for enabling application components to communicate through connection points. Embodiments of the invention include a communication manger allowing application components that implement connection points and listeners to communicate without having prior knowledge of each other's implementation. Application components implement connection point containers that register with a communication manager. Application components may broadcast events and messages to other components and request to be notified when an application component implementing a given type of connection point registers with the communication manager. Other embodiments of the invention implement proxy classes, which allows for automatic generation of connection point classes.
