Actually this isn't what I'm looking for. I'm looking for event bubbling.
Nothing too fancy. Just bubble a message (event) up the component
hierarchy allowing parent components to listen for events from their
children.
I got something working on my end and I tried very, very hard to make as
few changes as possible to Pivot. I tried getting it working with none,
actually, but I ended up making two changes to WTKXSerializer. One is
fairly innocuous and the other is fairly ugly. I'm not going to go into
details until I've had a chance to find a better way.
Cheers,
Michael

Ah, OK. If you are talking about intra-application message passing,
Pivot actually has a built-in API for that. See the subscribe(),
unsubscribe(), and sendMessage() methods of ApplicationContext (in Pivot
2.0, these live in org.apache.pivot.util.MessageBus).

I don't know your exact scenario, but I've had good luck in my pivot app
using something like EventBus - basically an publish/subscribe system
for events - for invoking code on sibling components. There's even a
Pivot-centric tutorial with lots and lots of examples:

Is there a means in Pivot for a component to send a generic message to its
ancestors (aside from manually walking the hierarchy and calling methods
on each parent in turn)? The prototypical example I'm thinking of here is
event bubbling.
