NetKernel Foundation API

req=context.createSubRequest("active:entrypointLookup");
req.addArgument("name", [resource representation, aspect, or URI] );
req.addArgument("entrypoints", [resource representation, aspect, or URI] );
result=context.issueSubRequest(req);

Purpose

The entrypointLookup accessor is used to lookup the XML metadata for a named entrypoint from an entrypoint list. If the name is globally unique then module and version are not necessary. If not unique then the first entrypoint with that name will be chosen.

The ep: scheme should be used to specify entrypoint names.

See the ext_entrypoint guide for more details on entrypoints.
