i can not linked javaFx with agent class , i want to pass the instance value of javafx application to agent class for interacting with GUI of javaFx and the Inverse From agent class i want to pass the instance object of current agent to JavaFx application to do some stuff

public class ClientAgent extends Agent {

@Override
protected void setup() {

}}








public class ClientController extends Application   {

private ClientAgent clientAgent;

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception{

    Group flowPane=new Group();
    JFXButton jfxButton=new JFXButton("Login");
    flowPane.getChildren().add(jfxButton);
    primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World");
    primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(flowPane, 600, 400));
    primaryStage.show();

    jfxButton.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
        @Override
        public void handle(ActionEvent event) {


        }
    });


}


public void setClientAgent(ClientAgent clientAgent) {
    this.clientAgent = clientAgent;
}

}

public class ClientContainer  {

public static void main(String [] args) {
    try {

    Runtime runtime=Runtime.instance();
    ProfileImpl profile=new ProfileImpl(false);
    profile.setParameter(Profile.MAIN_HOST,"localhost");
    AgentContainer agentContainer=runtime.createAgentContainer(profile);
    AgentController agentController=agentContainer.createNewAgent("client", ClientAgent.class.getName(),new Object[] {});
    agentController.start();

    } catch (StaleProxyException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ControllerException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

}


Solution

  • You can try to use putO2AObject to pass objects to agent and jade.util.Event to pass data back. For example

    AgentController agentController = ...;
    jade.util.Event event = new Event(-1, this, new SomeObject());
    agentController.putO2AObject(event, AgentController.ASYNC);
    Object someObjectFromAgent = event.waitUntilProcessed(10 * 60 * 1000);
    

    In an agent you should

    protected void setup(){
        setEnabledO2ACommunication(true, 0);
    
        addBehaviour(new CyclicBehaviour(this){
            public void action(){
                Object info =  myAgent.getO2AObject();
                if (info != null){
                    // do something with Event
                    event.notifyProcessed(new SomeObjectFromAgent());
                }else{
                    block();
                }
            }
        });
    }
