NetKernel Address Schemes

In NetKernel all requests use a URI identifier and an action verb. NetKernel supports the standard address schemes such as file:, http: and ftp:. This section documents the internal URI address schemes used by NetKernel for various special purposes.

It is relatively easy to add new URI scheme by developing the appropriate accessor in Java. Refer to the NetKernel Extension Guide for more information and in particular the example transient: scheme discussed in the section on Data Accessors.

Scheme
active: The active scheme supports functional programming.
curi: The curi scheme is used for logical address indirection. A curi URI references an XML document that contains a URI that is used in a request.
ffcpl: The File First Classpath Later scheme was devised to access resources with a module's logical file system.
this: A local reference to some execution state or context for the currently executing DPML program.
var: The var: scheme provides local transient storage for the duration of the DPML program execution. Temporary variables are created dynamically when they are first indentified. Once created, var: scheme variables are globally accessible within the DPML program and exist until the program exits.

AUTHOR NOTE: We need examples of this:[name] and other usages.
