Method Summary

AgentControllerInterface	createAgent(java.lang.Object agentInfo) Creates an agent instance using the specified agent information; a String containing the classname of an AgentInterface implementation, or a Props with the classname property.
protected AgentControllerInterface	createAgent(Props agentProps) Creates an agent instance using the classname property of the specified Props and automatically adopting any other properties which exist.
protected java.lang.String	getNextAgentID() Increments and returns the next agent ID.
void	initProps() Provides default values for the following properties if missing: next_agent_id - seed value for agent_id (default: 1001)
void	stop() Shuts down the agent kernel and exits the VM by calling System.exit(0).

Method Detail

createAgent

public AgentControllerInterface createAgent(java.lang.Object agentInfo)

Creates an agent instance using the specified agent information; a String containing the classname of an AgentInterface implementation, or a Props with the classname property. The agent's initProps method is called before this method returns.

Specified by:

createAgent in interface AgentKernelInterface

createAgent

protected AgentControllerInterface createAgent(Props agentProps)

Creates an agent instance using the classname property of the specified Props and automatically adopting any other properties which exist. If the name property isn't provided, the name will be set to the agent's classname. If the agent_id property isn't provided, one will be assigned by the agent kernel. Returns null if unsuccessful.

getNextAgentID

protected java.lang.String getNextAgentID()

Increments and returns the next agent ID.

initProps

public void initProps()

Provides default values for the following properties if missing:

• next_agent_id - seed value for agent_id (default: 1001)

Specified by:

initProps in interface AgentInterface

Overrides:

initProps in class Agent

stop

public void stop()

Shuts down the agent kernel and exits the VM by calling System.exit(0).

Specified by:

stop in interface AgentInterface

Overrides:

stop in class Agent
