RE: [Dsol-java] how to listen to fireEvent?

[Peter H.M. J. <p.h...@tb...>]

Dear Dirk and others,

I have looked at your code. I think you are on the right track! Keep it
going...

If you update your project from cvs you will see that I made quite some
comments.. All the comments start with TODO Peter. This will help you sort
out what I did (The TODO's give a blue mark in your Java editor).

I would highly encourage others to download the project and to look at the
comments I made ("SPM9322 -port" project on CVS). 

Dirk, mail me what you think and when I can update the new code (there is
still stuff to do for you...)

Peter

Subject: [Dsol-java] how to listen to fireEvent?

Dear all,

I've made a "crane" that delivers "containers" every 1..5 timeunits. These
containers should be picked up by several "someVehicles". I would like to
have my crane fire an event, CONTAINER_RELEASED_EVENT. The code for this I
found in the tutorial, section 4.2:

...
public class QuayCrane extends EventProducer {
	public static final EventType CONTAINER_RELEASED_EVENT = new
EventType(
			"CONTAINER_RELEASED_EVENT");
...

private void releaseContainer () {
...
this.fireEvent(CONTAINER_RELEASED_EVENT, this.simulator.getSimulatorTime());
... }
} // end class

My question:

How do I get an instance of my someVehicle to listen to this event? The
events in the tutorial are (so it seems) only used by the Tallies. For this
moment I;m not interested in the prioritization of my someVehicles; I just
want them to respond.

Is this the proper mechanism to create interaction between objects in the
simulation??

(PS My very-first-test-project can be found on the CVS Server: "SPM9322 -
port")
