Hi, when I look at the web interface for Build Forge (7.1.2.0-0-0340) I can click on Projects->Adaptor Links and then see the current Entry Point. Does anyone know how to get the Entry Point information using the perl client?

I looked through the Adaptor and AdaptorLink sections of the documentation but I didn't see any methods for entry points. I was expecting to see something like 
$adaptorlink->getEntryPoint()
bud didn't find anything like it.

Thanks,
Dale

Hi Dale,

Unfortunately, I don't see a method to get the entry point on the Perl class. There is a method called getName on the Java client. I've opened item Perl BuildForge::Services::DBO::AdaptorLink needs method to get name (aka entry point) to have a getName method added. As a shorter term workaround, you could do something like the following: 


my $adaptorLink = BuildForge::Services::DBO::AdaptorLink->findByUuid($conn, $adaptorLinkUuid);

die('Could not find adaptor link ' . $adaptorLink) unless defined($adaptorLink);



my $entryPoint = $adaptorLink->{'name'};

print "**** " . $entryPoint . " ****\n";
