Event listener interface?

Hi,

I am a newbie to salesForce and am in the process of implementing using the 2.5 Web services available. I had a question about the possibility of listening to events like, creation/updation of Opportunity, Accounts etc. Is there a way for me to register my program so that I could receive notification events when these events occur?

Thanks in advance.

Currently, no, athough there are some opportunties to repurpose the workflow/alerts feature in Winter 04 into an event system.  For now, its easiest to poll for the events you seek (likely based on System Mod timestamp.)

Adam,
Are there plans to implement some sort of event processing model in the future?  Polling -Pulling- is obviously one way and has inherant issues that a subscription model -Push- would overcome.

Cheers.
