Abstract:
A data processing system for managing relationships among a plurality of objects by using a hierarchical containment tree model, the system comprising:a plurality of resource managers that govern managed objects; message processing means for receiving operation requests from a plurality of client applications which should be directed to the resource managers concerned, said message processing means comprising a plurality of message queues for separately queuing different types of operation requests directed to different resource managers, said message queues each having a service status flag to control exclusive execution of the operation requests being queued therein; tree management means for maintaining tree structure data that defines containment relationships among the resource managers, together with identification data that is used to distinguish between the resource managers; object management means for examining the tree structure data maintained in said tree management means to recognize the identification data of the destination resource manager to which the received operation request is directed, and sending the operation request to the destination resource manager; and object management means for examining the tree structure data maintained in said tree management means to find the identification data of the destination resource manager for which each of the received and queued operation requests should be destined, and sending each operation request to the destination resource managers that are found relevant thereto.
