Constructs a new XMLContractHelloWorldSimpleAgent agent without an address.

Method Summary

boolean	finish() Called just before the component instance is unregistered; this is usually performed when the platform is going to shutdown.
void	init() Called just after the component instance is created and before the instance is returned to the client (note: this method is called only once while creating a component instance).
void	step() The main method of the agent.

Method Detail

step

public void step()

Description copied from interface: ISimpleAgent

The main method of the agent. Here the agent does all his work.

Specified by:

step in interface ISimpleAgent

Specified by:

step in class SimpleAgent

finish

public boolean finish()

Description copied from interface: IStatefulComponent

Called just before the component instance is unregistered; this is usually performed when the platform is going to shutdown. The method should be used to perform a cleanup, for instance closing network connections, removing temporary files.

Specified by:

finish in interface IStatefulComponent

Overrides:

finish in class AbstractAgent

Returns:

true when the component is finished, false when component is still finishing (it is long running operation)

init

public void init()
          throws ComponentException

Description copied from class: AbstractAgent

Called just after the component instance is created and before the instance is returned to the client (note: this method is called only once while creating a component instance).

This implementation obtains a IAgentAddressProvider from the container and tries to initialise its own address.

Specified by:

init in interface IStatefulComponent

Overrides:

init in class AbstractAgent

Throws:

ComponentException - when any error during initialization occurs
