System and method for aggregating registration of entities for notifications of events

摘要

An event aggregator allows an application program to receive notification of events generated by selected objects without registering as a listener for events with each object. The event aggregator has a registration list module that receives a registration request from the application program indicating from which object types the application program wants to receive notification of events, an object monitor that continually checks the computer system for objects and registers a listener with each object; and an event monitor that that notifies the application program if any listener receives notification of an event generated by an object type indicated by the registration request.
