Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for alerting one or more computer software application threads waiting to retrieve events from an event port. An alert event generated by a computer software application is received at the event port.

One or more of the computer software application threads is notified about the alert state of the event port.
