Guide to run JADEX examples

[Mohan Baruwal Chhetri]

Hi,
I'm trying to run the PingAgent/PingingAgent example and am having no success with it. The source for these agents is available in the jadex-applications-micro package.

Is there any tutorial available that shows how to run the different examples? For instance, with the PingingAgent, I see that there are a number of arguments provided for the PingingAgent (see below). Are these supposed to be provided during the creation of the PingingAgent. If so, how do we do this? I could not find any help on this in the Getting Started documentation available at https://download.actoron.com/docs/releases/jadex-3.0.43/jadex-mkdocs/getting-started/getting-started/.

Could somebody please help point me to the right resources.

Many thanks,
Mohan

Hi Mohan,

the complex examples, i.e. with more than one agent, usually have a starter component.

For the ping example you can start the PingScenario.application.xml.

For building your own application starter component, you can look at https://download.actoron.com/docs/releases/jadex-3.0.43/jadex-mkdocs/tutorials/ac/06%20Composition/

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,
I tried to use the PingScenario.application.xml file.
When I do that, I can see the PingScenario with the Ping and Pinging Agents created. However, I cannot see any ping messages being exchanged between the agents. I think I am missing something.
The PingingAgent class takes in a jadex.bridge.IcomponentIdentifier argument. But I'm not sure what to pass in as the argument value.

Cheers,
Mohan
