Adding a behavior outside of the setup()

[Hutchinson, Matt]

Hi,

 

I read in the documentation that it is possible to use the .addBehavior() method outside of the agent's setup() method. I have a valid agent object, but when I try to add a behavior it just does nothing: no exceptions or errors, but also no result.

 

If I'm adding the behavior outside of an agent's setup() method, do I have to use another command to "pull the trigger" so to speak and actually make the behavior run?

 

Not only is behavior being added from outside the setup() method, but it is being added from another class.

 

 

 

So inside my TestBehavior.java file is:

 

import jade.core.behaviours.OneShotBehaviour;

import java.sql.*;

public class TestBehavior extends OneShotBehaviour

{

public void action()

{

System.out.println("Executing the test behavior in thread: " + Thread.currentThread().getId() );

}

}

 

 

And then snippets from the calling java class:

private ThreadedBehaviourFactory tbf = new ThreadedBehaviourFactory();

TestBehavior testb = new TestBehavior();

System.out.println("the agent ID inside BrokerAgentTask: " + agent_obj.getAID().getName() );

agent_obj.addBehaviour(tbf.wrap(testb) );

 

 

The agent_obj is my own agent class which extends Agent.

 

 

Thanks,

Matt

Hi,

 

Of course your agent must be alive. For instance if you do

 

Agent a = new MyAgentClass();

Behaviour b = new MyBehaviourClass();

a.addBehaviour(b);

 

Nothing will happen. Agents must be alive to execute tasks i.e. they must be started by a container.

 

Bye,

 

Giovanni
