      • execute

        public static final void execute(java.lang.Object command)
                                  throws StaleProxyException,
                                         ControllerException,
                                         java.lang.InterruptedException
        execute a command. This method first check if the executor Agent is alive (if not it creates container and agent), then it forwards the execution request to the agent, finally it blocks waiting until the command has been executed (i.e. the method releaseCommand is called by the executor agent)
        Throws:
        StaleProxyException - if the method was not able to execute the Command
        ControllerException
        java.lang.InterruptedException

      • execute

        public static final void execute(java.lang.Object command,
                                         long timeout)
                                  throws StaleProxyException,
                                         ControllerException,
                                         java.lang.InterruptedException
        Execute a command specifying a timeout. This method first check if the executor Agent is alive (if not it creates container and agent), then it forwards the execution request to the agent, finally it blocks waiting until the command has been executed. In case the command is a behaviour this method blocks until the behaviour has been completely executed.
        Throws:
        java.lang.InterruptedException - if the timeout expires or the Thread executing this method is interrupted.
        StaleProxyException - if the method was not able to execute the Command
        ControllerException

      • init

        public static final void init(java.lang.String agentClassName,
                                      java.lang.Object[] agentArgs,
                                      Properties jadeProfile)
        Initialize this gateway by passing the proper configuration parameters
        Parameters:
        agentClassName - is the fully-qualified class name of the JadeGateway internal agent. If null is passed the default class will be used.
        agentArgs - is the list of agent arguments
        jadeProfile - the properties that contain all parameters for running JADE (see jade.core.Profile). Typically these properties will have to be read from a JADE configuration file. If jadeProfile is null, then a JADE container attaching to a main on the local host is launched
      • init

        public static final void init(java.lang.String agentClassName,
                                      Properties jadeProfile)
      • shutdown

        public static final void shutdown()
        Kill the JADE Container in case it is running.
      • isGatewayActive

        public static final boolean isGatewayActive()
        Return the state of JadeGateway
        Returns:
        true if the container and the gateway agent are active, false otherwise

These are the official JADE API. For these API backward compatibility is guaranteed accross JADE versions
