ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for notification in an object-oriented system. The system includes observed objects in an object hierarchy, a notification manager, and observer objects. The notification manager determines when a change is made to one of the observed objects in the object hierarchy and then notifies an associated observer object of the change.
