We might need to distinguish 2 different usages of 'entity'. The first

Not sure I understand correctly. You mean entity is a class which is a
collection, similar to a table in database? And instance is an object
or individual entry or row in a table?
Yes, that is a pretty good analogy.
So we want to distinguish getting the primary key field for the entity,
as opposed to the primary key of the instance.
From the URL we want to get the primary key for a particular
instance/object to show in the detail page.
Yes. In a RESTful scheme it would be /IPA/entities/users/ayoung to
get my user object
The IPA.client will represent a connection to the IPA server. In a
browser IPA.client can only connect to the server it's loaded from:
var client = IPA.client();
but in a JS engine like Rhino the IPA.client can connect to any IPA
server:
var client = IPA.client('ipa.example.com');
This will work now, but you will not be able to see the results of the
command. Integrations like this are how the Like buttons from Facebook
work. Cross site posting is tricky, but permitted, and might be useful
in some cases. Possibly we should call it connection.
The second code is not supposed to be used inside a browser. This is
suppose you're writing a JS script running in Rhino, you need to
specify the IPA server you're connecting to. I haven't tried this, but
I suppose in Rhino we will be able to set the Referer to match the
server name.
I'd rather call it IPA.client because it will do other things too, not
just connection.
