What are you trying to do with notifications or alarms?  The SDK doesn't provide any specific extension or API.

- To raise a vCenter alarm you need to use the vSphere Web Client SDK, see their dedicated forum.

- User notifications should be handled in response to specific actions, in the callback function.

thanks for response.

My requirement is:

I want to trigger some Asynchronous business operations(non blocking calls) from webclient plugin UI and  would like to notify user that the operation is completed along with some more information once the operation executed completely, provided that don't want to block UI(Flex Client) i.e. user can perform other navigations

or operations at UI till the the notification appears.

can u provide some sample code like chasis-app so that i can have idea of UI(Flex) metadata as well as

service(java) code in order to achieve this.

can u please suggest what all possible options available to achive such requirement like

- create plugin specific custom vsphere task.

- any place where a long duration calls can be notified.

- minimize the current operation.
