ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a method and system for preventing unnecessary delays during notification delivery process in an event driven system. The unnecessary delays may be caused by waiting for event completion acknowledgments for an unbounded time. Notifications (event handle requests) may be dispatched to all interested parties in parallel. Then, handling acknowledgments from the interested parties may be gathered after a specific delay. Termination requests may be sent to non-responding parties in order to prevent indefinite waiting or an advertent notification cycle. Alternatively, non-responding parties may be removed from a list of listeners which have been registered as interesting parties for a software component in the event driven system.
