Class BasicOntology

java.lang.Object

jade.content.onto.Ontology

jade.content.onto.BasicOntology

All Implemented Interfaces:

SL0Vocabulary, java.io.Serializable

public class BasicOntology
extends Ontology
implements SL0Vocabulary

This class implements an ontology containing schemas for Primitive types and SL0 operators i.e. basic ontological elements required for minimal agent interaction. Users should always extend this ontology when defining their ontologies.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static Ontology getInstance()

Returns the singleton instance of the BasicOntology.

Returns:

the singleton instance of the BasicOntology

getSchema

public ObjectSchema getSchema(java.lang.String name)
                       throws OntologyException

Redefine the getSchema() method to take into account ACL performatives.

Overrides:

getSchema in class Ontology

Parameters:

name - the name of the schema in the vocabulary.

Returns:

the schema or null if the schema is not found.

Throws:

OntologyException

getSchema

public ObjectSchema getSchema(java.lang.Class clazz)
                       throws OntologyException

Redefine the getSchema() method to take into account java primitives.

Overrides:

getSchema in class Ontology

Parameters:

clazz - the class whose associated schema must be retrieved.

Returns:

the schema associated to the given class or null if the schema is not found.

Throws:

OntologyException

adjustPrimitiveValue

public static java.lang.Object adjustPrimitiveValue(java.lang.Object srcValue,
                                                    java.lang.Class destClass)

Convert, if possible, the numeric value srcValue into an instance of destClass

resolveNumericValue

public static java.lang.Object resolveNumericValue(java.lang.Object srcValue,
                                                   java.lang.Class destClass)

Deprecated. Use adjustPrimitiveValue() instead
