Can you comment on this Peter?
Let's say I want a set of listeners attached to an object to be
invoked in order. Let's say that both listeners live on the same local
site (process) and maybe are both associated with the same vobject.
Will there be a way to do this in S5? What if the listeners are
associated with metaobject types (e.g. a vobject L is linked to
another vobject Source. Applying type X to L causes listener x to be
created, and applying type Y casues listener y to be created, each
listening to vobject Source (they find Source because it's linked to
L). I always want x to be notified before y of any changes to Source.
Does this make sense?
I don't really follow, no. Could you give an example?
The plan for listeners is for it to be based properly on message passing
between objects, rather than straight callbacks. Once messages are sent
out, there isn't really a guarantee on ordering, so if you need a strong
cause and effect trigger, you should probably have an intermediate
object that subscribes to the primary object, does some work, and then
passes it on to the next listener...
Or are you trying to do some kind of filtering?
I can't answer the questions without knowing what you're trying to
acomplish.
