ABSTRACT:
Method and system for connecting link object to a link source. In a preferred embodiment, a source process registers the link source in a running object table when the link source enters a running state. When a consumer process subsequently puts a container object containing the link object in a running state, the consumer process determines if the link source is registered in the running object table. If the link source is registered in the running object table, then a connection is established between the link object and the link source. If, however, the link source is not registered, then the consumer process registers the link object in an alert object table. When a source process subsequently puts the link source in the running state, the source process determines if the link object is registered in the alert object table. If the link object is registered in the alert object table, then the source process notifies the link object and a connection is established between the link object and the link source.
