A data processing system for managing a plurality of objects within said data processing system, the distributed data processing system having an object oriented environment. A container object is created for holding objects and a plurality of objects is detected within the data processing system. A filter object is associated with the container object, wherein the filter object receives the plurality of objects within the data processing system and the filter object passes selected ones of the plurality of objects to the container object. The data processing system is periodically monitored to detect changes in the plurality of objects. The container object is automatically updated using the filter object to pass selected ones of the plurality of objects to the container object in response to monitoring the data processing system, wherein the container object is automatically updated.

Creation of manageable management collections using filters

A data processing system having an object oriented environment. The object oriented environment includes a plurality of graphic user interface objects and a plurality of application objects, each graphic user object having a unique identifier and a selected attribute and each application object having a preselected response. Graphic user interface objects associated with an application object are identified. A table is created specifying relationships between the graphic user interface objects and each graphic user interface object and the application object. Each time the application object is initialized, the table is used to specify objects within the application object.

Method and system for optimizing static and dynamic binding of

The present invention provides a method and system in a data processing system, having a multitasking operating system which includes a plurality of processes, for providing communication between objects executing within the processes in the multitasking operating system, the method and system includes registering an object within a communications manager in response to a launching of the object. The communications manager monitors all objects registered with the communications manager within the plurality of processes. A determination of whether a first object is registered is made utilizing the communications manager, in response to receiving a request from a second object to send a message to the first object. Automatic initiation of the launching the first object within the processes is performed if the first object is unregistered utilizing the communications manager. Next, the first process containing the first object is bound to the second process containing the second object, wherein a communications path is established between the first process and the second of the process. The message is sent to the first object from the second object via the established communications path between the two processes, wherein communication between the first object and the second object is automatically established.
