a provider module provides an interface between an object manager or
object handler and each of a plurality of management modules. The
provider module can include a register manager operable to maintain a
register of interfaced management modules and a router operable to use
the register to provide routing of a management request to a management
module appropriate to process the management request. Sharing the
provider module between a plurality of management modules facilitates the
creation and integration of the management modules and provides a dynamic
management system.
