Abstract
A computing system and method to dispatch and receive messages that are generated responsive to the occurrence of events. The server generates a message when an event such as the clicking of a mouse button occurs. This message can serve as an input for several program modules such as subroutines. A central dispatcher module is programmed with dispatching strategies to dispatch the message to a customized dispatcher module if the message is of a particular kind. The customized dispatcher module is programmed with dispatching strategies to distribute the message to the program modules. The central dispatcher module does not directly interface to the program modules. This allows for the installation and removal of the program modules without reprogramming the central dispatcher module.
