public class PlatformServiceManager
extends java.util.Observable

This class implements management functionality to support the activation of multiple message transport services on a single agent platform. TODO - robertr - 13-Aug-2004 - Rem, is a factory initialisation needed for the manager itself? TODO - robertr - 13-Aug-2004 - Should this class, along with the other service classes be added into the main Agent Factory platform. Otherwise, should all agent management system stuff be removed from the agent factory platform, and just kept as a plugin.

Method Detail

newInstance

public static PlatformServiceManager newInstance(AgentPlatform agentPlatform)

Factory method that returns a message transport manager instance.

newInstance

public static PlatformServiceManager newInstance(java.util.Vector descriptors,
                                                 AgentPlatform agentPlatform)

Factory method that returns a message transport manager instance.

addService

public void addService(PlatformService inService)

Registers a FIPA message transport service with the manager, which in turn starts the service.

Parameters:

inService - the message transport service to be registered.

shutdown

public void shutdown()

Method used to shtudown all Message Transport Services registered to this MessageTransportManager
