Hello Jaders,

I'm trying to write a Java-Application that gets some input from the user and starts an agent. Then it gives the entered informations to the Agent via putO2AObject. After that, the Agent moves to another location, compares the given informations against some rules that are defined in another agent and returns with the corrected data. So well. But now, I want to get the informations from the Agent into my Application and I don't know how to do this. Is there any possiblity, that my Application receives messages? Can the Agent call a function from the Application that has started him?
I don't want to write as Application an GuiAgent, but an stand-alone-Application that starts an Agent only if necessary.

As far as I understand the documentation, the "Using JADE from external Java applications"-possibility is just an API for the "Start new Agent"-command in the JADE-Gui. I would be very happy, if anybody could tell me that there is a way to communicate with the created Agent.

Best Regards,

Alexander Buschmann
