Uses of DFAgentDescription in jade.domain

Methods in jade.domain that return DFAgentDescription

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static DFAgentDescription	DFService.decodeDone(java.lang.String s) Process the content of the final inform (Done) message resulting from a register or deregister action requested to a DF agent, extracting the df-agent-description contained within.
static DFAgentDescription[]	DFService.decodeNotification(java.lang.String s) Process the content of the inform message resulting from a subscription with a DF agent, extracting the array of df-agent-description objects contained within.
static DFAgentDescription[]	DFService.decodeResult(java.lang.String s) Process the content of the final inform (result) message resulting from a search action requested to a DF agent, extracting the array of df-agent-description contained within.
DFAgentDescription	df.getDescriptionOfThisDF() This method returns the current description of this DF
DFAgentDescription	df.getDescriptionOfThisDF(AID parent) This method returns the description of this df used to federate with the given parent
DFAgentDescription	df.getDFAgentDsc(AID name) This method returns the description of an agent registered with the DF.
static DFAgentDescription	DFService.modify(Agent a, AID dfName, DFAgentDescription dfd) Modifies a previously registered DF-Description within a DF agent.
static DFAgentDescription	DFService.modify(Agent a, DFAgentDescription dfd) Modify a DFAgentDescription from the default DF.
static DFAgentDescription	DFService.register(Agent a, AID dfName, DFAgentDescription dfd) Register a new DF-Description with a DF agent.
static DFAgentDescription	DFService.register(Agent a, DFAgentDescription dfd) Registers a DFAgentDescription with the default DF
static DFAgentDescription[]	DFService.search(Agent a, AID dfName, DFAgentDescription dfd) The default SearchConstraints are used.
static DFAgentDescription[]	DFService.search(Agent a, AID dfName, DFAgentDescription dfd, SearchConstraints constraints) Searches for data contained within a DF agent.
static DFAgentDescription[]	DFService.search(Agent a, DFAgentDescription dfd) The default DF is used.
