Abstract
An application framework is disclosed for receiving requests for access to application modules. A module thread is instantiated and placed in a wait state for each request and the application framework associates a plurality of predefined events with a plurality of event handling functions for each event. Upon receiving a user generated event, the application framework sets a corresponding module thread to execute the corresponding event handling function and changes the thread state to ‘running.’ Threads in the ‘running’ state are executed concurrently under the control of a system thread manger and are returned to a ‘wait’ state when the handling function ends. Each such thread maintains the session state throughout the use of the application.
