Class PlatformConfigReader

java.lang.Object
  com.agentfactory.platform.util.PlatformConfigReader

public class PlatformConfigReader
extends java.lang.Object

Read in an Agent Factory Platform Configurtion File. A platform configuration file specifies: (a) details of platform services to be activated; (b) language and GUI plugins to be loaded; and (c) basic information about the platform including its name. The PlatformConfigReader is instantiated by the AgentPlatform during start-up and is disposed of once the Agent Platform is fully constructed. TODO - robertr - 25/08/04 - describe the syntax of a platform config file. The notions of default components, sleep time, and actuator threading are all options passed to the interpreter.

                     throws java.io.IOException

create a new configuration file reader using given file

Parameters:

filename - the name of the configuration file

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Method Detail

buildInterpreterEntry

public void buildInterpreterEntry(java.util.StringTokenizer tok)

Build an entry for an agent interpreter. All the elements are pulled from the string tokenizer and packed into an InterpreterDescriptor object. This object is then added to the hashtable of interpreters using the agent type as key. Expected Syntax: *

Parameters:

tok -

getInterpreters

public java.util.Hashtable getInterpreters()

Get the hashtable of interpreters that were read in by the configuration file reader.

Returns:

Hashtable - the collection of all interpreters read in by the input parser.

getServices

public java.util.Vector getServices()

getPlatformGUIs

public java.util.Vector getPlatformGUIs()

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

This is used by the Platform Specific Actuator.

getPlatformDomain

public java.lang.String getPlatformDomain()

getSecurityPolicies

public java.util.Vector getSecurityPolicies()
