Hi,
The agent name is assigned at agent creation time and MUST NOT be changed (as you do in the setup method)
The fact that your agent gets stuck comes from that.
Bye

Subject: [jade-develop] Registration gets blocked ! how to solve it ?
Hi guys,
I understand the registration of the agent with the DF will be blocked if it is not successful. The programming guide offers
A solution to programmer by using the addBehaviour(DFService.getNonBlockingBehaviour() to add a non blocking behaviour to the
Registration with DF. When I execute the program, Only "A" is printed out. That is , the program hangs at (below in bold too)
addBehaviour(DFService.getNonBlockingBehaviour(this, "actionName"));
Why is this so ?
Please advise. I had formerly tried to get the agents I launched to registered with a DF, they all hanged.. and so I am trying to use the non
Blocking method. However, this still doesn't solve the problem that is, I still cannot get my agents to register with the DF.
Please help ! Thanks... I have been stuck at this problem for some time.
Regards
David
