A data processing system for processing events in an object oriented system, the data processing system comprising:

• first sending means, responsive to receiving the selected user input to a container, for sending a view event from a view controller to an application mediator, wherein the view event identifies an action to be taken to generate the selected user input;
• generating means for selectively generating a request event based on the view event, wherein the request event includes a major code identifying a class name as a destination and a minor code identifying a method name of a function to be invoked;
• second sending means for sending the request event to a transporter;
• and
• third sending means, responsive to receiving the request event at the transporter, for sending the request event to a destination object within a plurality of destination objects based on the class name.
