Abstract
Multiple interface versions including a current interface version and at least one earlier interface version are supported. A call is received at an interface version. A data structure from the current interface version data structures is retrieved. An event comprising a reference to the call is fired. Listeners for events are provided. A listener initiates the processing of a side effect of the current interface version, if appropriate to the call, wherein a side effect is a process in addition to the main purpose of the interface.
