Method Detail

postConfigure

public void postConfigure()

Description copied from interface: IXholon

Perform some action, typically once at start up; MAY be overridden. Recursive; application should call this only for root.

Specified by:

postConfigure in interface IXholon

Overrides:

postConfigure in class Xholon

act

public void act()

Description copied from interface: IXholon

Do some action during this time step. Typically all nodes in the tree will do their pre-actions (optional), then all will do their actions, and then all will do their post-actions (optional).

Specified by:

act in interface IXholon

Overrides:

act in class Xholon

sendMessage

public void sendMessage(int signal,
                        java.lang.Object data,
                        IXholon sender)

This is the Xholon equivalent of update(Observable o, Object arg) in Java.util.Observer, where: signal is ISignal.SIGNAL_UPDATE, and represents the update() function itself. data is optional, and represents the optional Object arg. sender represents Observable o. Create an instance of Message, fill in the data portion of the Message with what has changed in the sender, and forward the Message to a XhymAgent.

Specified by:

sendMessage in interface IXholon

Overrides:

sendMessage in class Xholon

See Also:

Xholon.sendMessage(int, java.lang.Object, org.primordion.xholon.base.IXholon)

getPort

public IXholon getPort(int portNum)

Description copied from interface: IXholon

Get the port that corresponds to this index (0 indexed).

Specified by:

getPort in interface IXholon

Overrides:

getPort in class Xholon

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:
