Method Detail

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

live

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

Overrides:
live in class Agent

end

public void end()
Description copied from class: AbstractAgent
This method is called by the agent micro-kernel at the end of the agent lifecycle. If the the agent is killed from the outside, it is the last opportunity for the agent to cleanly shutdown its operations. Although it is "nicer" to make the agent leave its groups, the handled groups and roles are automatically leaved after this last step

Overrides:
end in class AbstractAgent

initDir

public void initDir()

dirIndex

public void dirIndex(java.lang.String virtualPath,
                     java.lang.String realPath,
                     ListFic index)

dirPluginIndex

public void dirPluginIndex(java.lang.String virtualPath,
                           java.lang.String realPath,
                           ListFic index)

initPluginsDataBase

public void initPluginsDataBase(FicDataBase dataBase)
