Constructor Detail

KAoSGuardedUsecase1

protected KAoSGuardedUsecase1(ServiceRoot sr,
                              java.lang.String nickname)

Instantiates a new Usecase with the provided ServiceRoot. The ServiceRoot argument is held by the Usecase. Therefore changes to the ServiceRoot, after Usecase instantiation, can affect the use-case behavior.

Parameters:

sr - the instantiating ServiceRoot (a reference is kept).

See Also:

ServiceRoot, "JAS Specification, Section(s) 2.2.2.1, 3.3"

Method Detail

receiveMessage

public void receiveMessage(TransportMessage tmsg)

Implements the receiveMessage method mandated by the MessageListener interface. This method simply prints the incoming TransportMessage to System.out.

See Also:

MessageListener, TransportMessage, "JAS Specification, Section(s) 3.4.2, 4.7.2"

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Two use-cases are equal if their respective hash codes are equal.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

true if obj equals this Usecase.

See Also:

hashCode(), "JAS Specification, Section(s) 4.7.2"

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Determines the hash code for the use-case. The use-case hash code is simply the hash code of the represented agents AgentName. If the AgentName field has not yet been set, then the hash code is found from super.hashCode() .

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

int the hashCode for this Usecase.

See Also:

AgentName#hashCode, Object.hashCode(), "JAS Specification, Section(s) 4.7.2"

acquireAgentNamingService

public AgentNamingService acquireAgentNamingService()
                                             throws java.lang.Exception

Acquires the AgentNamingService from the ServiceRoot. This method will throw an Exception if the AgentNamingService has previously been acquired.

Returns:

the acquired AgentNamingService

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if the AgentNamingService is not null.

See Also:

ServiceRoot#getAgentNamingService, "JAS Specification, Section(s) 2.2.2.2, 4.6.1"

acquireAgentDirectoryService

public AgentDirectoryService acquireAgentDirectoryService()
                                                   throws java.lang.Exception

Acquires the AgentDirectoryService from the ServiceRoot. This method will throw an Exception if the AgentDirectoryService has previously been acquired.

Returns:

the acquired AgentDirectoryService

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if the AgentDirectoryService is not null.

See Also:

ServiceRoot#getAgentDirectoryService, "JAS Specification, Section(s) 2.2.2.5, 4.5.1"

acquireMessageTransportService

public MessageTransportService acquireMessageTransportService()
                                                       throws java.lang.Exception

Acquires a MessageTransportService. The TransportSystem is gotten from the ServiceRoot and used to get the list of available MessageTransportServices. Assuming that the number of available MessageTransportServices is greater than zero, the first MessageTransportServic is used, otherwise null is returned.

Returns:

the first available MessageTransportService

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if the MessageTransportService is not null.

See Also:

ServiceRoot#getTransportSystem, TransportSystem#getMessageTransportServices, "JAS Specification, Section(s) 2.2.2.3, 4.7.5, 4.7.6"

bindToMessageTransportService

public Locator bindToMessageTransportService()
                                      throws java.lang.Exception

Returns a new local locator that has been bound with the MessageTransportService. Utilizing the MessageTransportService a new local Locator and MessageReceiver are obtained. The MessageReceiver then has this class added as a MessageListener, and is bound using the local Locator.

Returns:

the Locator by which the MessageReceiver is bound.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

See Also:

MessageTransportService#newLocalLocator, Locator, MessageTransportService#newMessageReceiver, MessageReceiver, MessageListener, MessageReceiver#addMessageListener(MessageListener), MessageReceiver#bindToLocalLocator(Locator), "JAS Specification, Section(s) 2.2.2.4, 2.2.2.7, 4.7.3"

acquireAgentName

public AgentName acquireAgentName()
                           throws java.lang.Exception

Acquires a unique AgentName from the AgentNamingService.

Returns:

a unique AgentName

AgentName, AgentNamingService#createAgentName, "JAS Specification, Section(s) 2.2.2.2, 4.6.1"

getAgentDescription

public KAoSAgentDescription getAgentDescription()

Creates a new AgentDescription for this Usecase. Utilizing the AgentDirectoryService an empty AgentDescription is obtained and then populated with various key-value pairs.

Returns:

an AgentDescription for this use-case.
