Abstract
A program product of processing a request for notice of occurrence of an event in a distributed processing environment may in general terms comprise receiving a request for notice of occurrence of an event, the request including an identification of a resource in which the will occur, and identifying a monitor associated with an indicator of states of the resource. The program product may further comprise obtaining indication of the event. The state characterizing the event may be received from the client or may be a default value. Indication of the event may be obtained by receiving state values and determining if they indicate the event, or periodically monitoring the indicator for occurrence of the event, or requesting monitoring from a monitor associated with the indicator.
