An application framework is disclosed for handling predefined events for various application modules executing as threads. Events are received and associated with a thread and an event handling function. Event handling functions are classified as mutually exclusive and non-mutually exclusive. Mutually exclusive functions are blocked while another mutually exclusive function is executing. Event handling functions are processed by setting a corresponding thread to execute the function and placing the thread in a 'non-wait' state. Threads in the 'non-wait' state are then executed concurrently under the control of a system thread manger and are returned to a &#x2018;wait&#x2019; state when the handling function ends. Each such thread maintains the session state throughout use of the application.
