A system and method are disclosed for distributing events in a data processing system from an event generator to an event recipient, while retaining processing control at the event generator. A manager object is created to manage the event generator's event calls. In response to an event, a distributor object is created and assigned a new thread of execution. When multiple event recipients exist, a slave object is created for each recipient, with each slave assigned to a new thread of execution. The slave object distributes the event by calling an interface method that is created as part of the event generator.

System and method for managing the distribution of events in a data processing system

A global data sharing environment and data sharing proxy agent for multiple application instances in an object oriented processing system are disclosed. In response to an object in an application instance calling a data storage method, a local data sharing environment is generated that corresponds to the requesting object's application instance. As a data storage or retrieval method is processed, data is stored in or retrieved from the local data sharing environment. Data can also be shared between objects in separate application instances using the global data sharing environment.

Object oriented processing system and data sharing environment for applications therein

The transmission of messages among multiple processors is controlled by the use of token and message interrupts. A token interrupt must be received from the processor sought to perform message processing. Failure to receive such a token interrupt prohibits requesting processors from making processing demands, i.e. sending a message interrupt, to the processor. Message interrupts, which may only be transmitted following receipt of a token interrupt, identify commands and user messages to be processed by a receiving processor. This permits instructions and multiple messages to be handled by a processor based on receipt of a single message interrupt. This technique also allows a processor under a temporary heavy load to defer the handling of other processing requests by delaying the transmission of a token interrupt.
