Abstract
The present invention provides a method and system in a data processing system, having a multitasking operating system which includes a plurality of processes, for providing communication between objects executing within the processes in the multitasking operating system, the method and system includes registering an object within a communications manager in response to a launching of the object. The communications manager monitors all objects registered with the communications manager within the plurality of processes. A determination of whether a first object is registered is made utilizing the communications manager, in response to receiving a request from a second object to send a message to the first object. Automatic initiation of the launching the first object within the processes is performed if the first object is unregistered utilizing the communications manager. Next, the first process containing the first object is bound to the second process containing the second object, wherein a communications path is established between the first process and the second of the process. The message is sent to the first object from the second object via the established communications p…
