* An exit point provides a mechanism to send objects from the working memory to some external process

* matches a rule.
* </p>
*
* <p>
* To create an exit point, implement the interface and register it with the KnowledgeRuntime:
* </p>
* <pre>
* ...
* ksession.registerExitPoint("my-exit-point", new MyExitPointImpl());
* </pre>
*
* <p>
* Exit points are invoked from the consequence side of a rule:
* </p>
* <pre>
* when
* ...
* then
* exitPoints["my-exit-point"].insert(...);
* </pre>
*
* @deprecated Use Channel instead
