FIPA_Service_Description()

FIPA_Service_Description(AbsConcept description)
this takes a service description in the form of a parse tree from the JADE_SL parser, and then pulls the leaves off and puts it into this nice datastructure

setAgentcitiesProperties

public void setAgentcitiesProperties(java.lang.String classification,
                                     java.lang.String domain,
                                     java.lang.String scope)

setAgentcitiesProperties is called with three parameters to make the service registration in the DF carry the metadata required for service lookup in agentcities.

Parameters:

domain - is a string that indicates the type of domain that the service applies to

scope - is the geographic range of the service; is it useful only within 2 miles of a particular place for example?

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

returns a String representation of the service description, formatted into SL

Specified by:

toString in interface ContentElement

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] argv)

for debug

debug

void debug(java.lang.String str)

debug method - prints to the system, or not depending on if this is activated (commented out) or not

match

public boolean match(ContentElement matcher)

match checks to see if the thing sent to it matches (according to generalx == specificx criteria) with it This method assumes that this object is the general case and the toMatchTo object is the specific case, so toMatchTo can have fields that are null here and still match to this.

Specified by:

match in interface ContentElement

vecMatch

public boolean vecMatch(java.util.Vector vec1,
                        java.util.Vector vec2)

checks through the elements of both vectors ans tries to find if they contain the same thing
