Method Detail

makeFilter

                                String desMatch)

Make filter for catalog that does the agentID regexp stuff. Using this on enumerateAgents will return an enumeration of all of the AgentID's in this catalog It will make sure each element passed matches (as a substring) NULL for any of the matching parts is the wildcard. eg: enumerateAgents( "luke", "metaglue.MetaglueAgent", nul ) gives all metaglue agents for society luke.

                                             String host)

For use in catalog to find all metaglue agents on a given host machine.

Parameters:

host - the machine home for metaglue agents desired

makeMetaglueAgentFilter

public static Filter makeMetaglueAgentFilter(String socMatch,
                                             String host,
                                             String name)

                           String desMatch)

Do the matchID on the vector, return all matches.

matchID

public static boolean matchID(AgentID id,
                              String socMatch,
                              String occMatch,
