A system receives notification that a console has registered to receive a type of managed object event. The system receives a plurality of managed object events from a cache manager. Each managed object event is associated with a managed object. The system parses the plurality of managed object events to determine the type of managed object event for each of the plurality of managed object events, and distributes the plurality of managed object events to the console. The plurality of managed object events are distributed based on the type of managed object event associated with each managed object event within the plurality of managed objects events, and the type of managed object event the console has previously registered to receive.

Methods and apparatus providing payload event processing for managed objects

Methods and apparatus for removing data from a cache are disclosed. The data may be one or more objects that are stored in a first cache. Each object stored in the first cache has an associated reference that is stored in a second cache. Each such reference has an associated timer. As a program accesses an object stored in the first cache, the timer associated with its reference is reset. A harvester process parses through the second cache over a period of time, locking a section of the second cache and determining if any timers associated with references therein have timed out. The harvester process removes any such timed-out timers from the second cache. A garbage collection process parses through the first cache, removing any objects therein that do not have an associated reference in the second cache.
