Constructor Detail

MainContainer

public MainContainer(jade.core.AgentContainerImpl impl,
                     java.lang.String platformName)

Public constructor. This constructor requires a concrete implementation of a JADE main container, which cannot be instantiated bt applications, so it cannot be meaningfully called from application code. The proper way to create an agent container from an application is to call the Runtime.createMainContainer() method.

Parameters:

impl - A concrete implementation of a JADE main container.

platformName - the name of this platform
