public class SimpleIXAgent

extends IXAgent

An example of a very simple I-X agent. Its IPC name can be given by the "-ipc-name" command-line argument. For example, to pretend to be I-DEEL:

    java ix.test.SimpleIXAgent -ipc -ipc-name=I-DEEL

processCommandLineArguments

protected void processCommandLineArguments()

Description copied from class: IXAgent

Handles command-line arguments common to all I-X agents.

    -debug=boolean
    -fontsize=int

At present, fontsize is ignored.

debug is used to set Debug.on.

The name in -ipc=name argument will be interpreted by the IPC.getCommunicationStrategy(String) method.

At present, this method also makes any standard I-X changes to the look and feel.

Overrides:

startup

protected void startup()

Description copied from class: IXAgent

Method called by the mainStartup(String[] argv) method to perform any setup and initialization that should take place after this agent's constructor has been called and command-line arguments have been processed.

At present, this method does nothing, and all the work is done in subclasses.

getAgentIPCName

public java.lang.Object getAgentIPCName()

Description copied from class: IXAgent
