Constructor Detail

GroupMessageTracer

public GroupMessageTracer()
Method Detail

getParseTime

public boolean getParseTime()
Get the value of parseTime.

Returns:
Value of parseTime.

setParseTime

public void setParseTime(boolean v)
Set the value of parseTime.

Parameters:
v - Value to assign to parseTime.

initGUI

public void initGUI()
Description copied from class: AbstractAgent
This method is called by the specific external graphic system (as the G-Box) to ask the agent to prepare a graphical interface. The agent developer should use a setGUIObject(...) within this method, as well as other necessary initializations. If the developer does not overload this method, a vanilla text output might be used as the default interface.

Overrides:
initGUI in class AbstractAgent

activate

public void activate()
Description copied from class: AbstractAgent
This method is initially called when the micro-kernel registers the agent. Usually a good place to set up some initial groups and roles.

Here is a typical example (taken from the PingPong agent of MadKit (plugin demos)) :

public void activate()
{
        try {
                createGroup(true,"ping-pong",null,null);
                println ("No ping-pong group : I created one");
                creator=true;
        } catch (OrganizationRequestException e) { // the group already exists
                creator=false;
                println ("A ping-pong group already exists : I will join");
        }
        requestRole("ping-pong","player",null);
}
 

Overrides:
activate in class AbstractAgent

enterGroup

public void enterGroup(java.lang.String group)

leaveGroups

public void leaveGroups()

requestDumpCommunities

protected void requestDumpCommunities()

getAllGroups

protected java.util.Vector getAllGroups()

live

public void live()
Description copied from class: Agent
This method defines the main behavior of threaded agents.

Overrides:
live in class Agent

getAgents

public java.util.Vector getAgents(java.lang.String group)

handleMessage

protected void handleMessage(KernelMessage m)
