Description:

The <invoke-target> defines the invocation target. That invocation target allows the current application to be launched from another application. Invocation is the process by which a client application sends an invoke message to a target application. The target handles the invocation. Typically a target is part of an application or viewer bundled in the BAR file. An application or viewer that hosts targets must declare the target against an entry point (e.g., the <invoke-target>'s id value).

When declaring a target, a globally unique target-key must be used. To ensure the uniqueness of the value, we recommend that you use conventions such as a reverse-DNS name.

Attributes:
