EventManager in illustrator and access to the annotationSuite (Scripting)

Question

Hello,
Would be really great if illustrator had an eventManager such as the one found in inDesign.
also it would be great if we had (easy) access to the cpp annotation suite
Our print company deems CPP plugins to be too much maintenance due to the size of our IT dept and average level of expertise, so developing a plugin in CPP is really not ideal for us to achieve this same functionality. (and we'd probably lose the access to the DOM we enjoy so very much in patchpanel if we made our own cpp plugin?).
This is my dream
onOpen(document){
document.addannotation(x,y,"cool annotation");
Thanks!

Consumer and provider proxies are generated at design time and are instantiated and active at runtime. The idea behind proxies is to hide complexities of SOA protocols and standards from the consumer and provider applications. Proxy generation tools are part of SAP SOA middleware.
To appreciate the beauty of proxies, here is an example: you are implementing SAP SCM TP/VS (Transportation Planning/Vehicle Scheduling) and you want to incorporate a web service provided by PC Miler to receive precise distance between two locations. All you have to do to be able to consume this web service from ABAP is to go to transaction SE80 and generate the client (consumer) proxy based on the WSDL of the service. You do not have to know anything about XML or SOAP. The client proxy will be generated as a global class. All you then need to do is to build a consumer program that instantiates the class and calls a method that corresponds to the service you need.
It is similarly with the provider proxy. You design your service and at the end of the design phase you generate the proxy, which at this time is just a shell (methods with their interfaces). Then to implement the service you just put your code into this shell. The code implements the logic the service is supposed to provide.
I hope this helps a bit.
