Hi Giovanni,
I've tried it myself. The results are attached. I've changed three files
(jade.core.Profile, jade.core.AgentContainerImpl,
jade.core.MainContainerImpl) and added a constant to the Profile (the
changes are really tiny). The only problem I have is that if I instantiate
several agents each in a personal container with the same name (e.g.
JADEContainer) the agents go in the first container JADEContainer and there
are some more empty container JADEContainer.
I create my agents as follows:
public MyContainer(String args[])
{
//parse params to read parameters for the number and location of the
agents
parseParams(args);
try
{
Runtime rt = Runtime.instance();
// Create a default profile
Profile p = new ProfileImpl();
//AO: I've added this constant
p.setParameter(Profile.CONTAINER_NAME, "MyContainer");
// Create a new non-main container, connecting to the default
// main container (i.e. on this host, port 1099)
//AO: If there is a container with the given name
// JADE creates an additional container that remains empty
//and the agents are going to the first container and not in the created
one
AgentContainer ac = rt.createAgentContainer(p);
//create inka agents
for (int i=1;i<=numberAgents_;i++)
{
// Create a new prefix_ agent
// and pass it a reference to an Object
AgentController dummy = null;
if (numberAgents_>1)
dummy = ac.createNewAgent(prefix_+i,
prefix_, new Object[0]);
else
dummy = ac.createNewAgent(prefix_,
prefix_, new Object[0]);
// Fire up the agent
dummy.start();
}
}
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Is it possible to get a list of containers that I can check whether a
container is available or not and add new agents to the existing container?
Cheers
