Abstract
A method for notifying and tasking computer applications hosted by an application execution system by computer applications external to the application execution system is provided. An external computer application may use an external Task queue API to add tasks to the internal application's task queue. The internal application can then see the tasks and act upon the tasks at a convenient, non-busy time for the internal application. An intermediary subscription system may manage an internal application's event subscriptions. When an event occurs, the intermediary subscription system may add a task to the subscribing internal application's task queue. A second intermediate system manages the access control list of an internal application's task queue. This system restricts access to the task queue to only those external applications that are explicitly granted permission in the internal application's task queue configuration file.
