Syntax

Argument	Rules	Description
type	Mandatory	mls
operator	Mandatory	required a document specifying properties for the directory listing
target	Optional	the target resource

The mls accessor lists resources within a Netkernel module to generate an xml document representing the tree structure. Each sub-directory is an element with resources listed within.

The resources that are matched are selected based upon a set a regular expression filter applied to the resource URI. The resource filter is provided as the operator.

The structure of the returned document is as follows:

<mls> ...
  <dir>accessor
    <res>schematronAccessor.idoc
      <uri>ffcpl:/org/ten60/netkernel/xml/accessor/schematronAccessor.idoc</uri>
      <module>urn:org:ten60:netkernel:ext:xml</module>
    </res>
  </dir> ...
</mls>

<module-uri> If specified, this is the modules that will be the subject of the listing. Otherwise the module requesting use of the accessor will be the subject.
<filter> Filter. Regular Expression on the absolute URI of the resource (starting ffcpl:/)
<uri> Include the full ffcpl: URI of the resource
<age> Include the number of milliseconds since the resource was last modified
<lastmodified> Include the timestamp when the resource was last modified
<length> Include the length in bytes of the resource
