Classes in com.ibm.able.platform used by com.ibm.able.beans.knn

AblePlatformAgent
This class defines the base interface, or behavior, which all ABLE platform agents must support, especially if they are to be created and managed through Able's Agent Lifecycle Service.

AblePlatformDefaultAgent
This class provides an enhanced implementation of a JSR 87 (Java Agent Services or JAS) compliant agent, but also inherits all the capabilities of an AbleDefaultAgent; as a JAS agent, the agent obtains a globally unique AgentName from the Agent Naming Service, registers a description with the Agent Directory Service, and is able to send and receive messages through the Message Transport System.

AbleAgentCapability
The AbleAgentCapability class defines a role or behavior that an AblePlatformDefaultAgent can take on.

AbleAgentClassDescription
An instance of this class contains information about an individual agent that the Agent Lifecycle Service may create within the distributed platform; a platform console (or some other object) can obtain a collection of AgentClassDescription objects from the Agent Lifecycle Service and then use the descriptions in conjunction with the Agent Lifecycle Service to create instances of new agents within the platform.

AbleAgentSituation
The AbleAgentSituation class defines a situation that an AblePlatformDefaultAgent with an AgentCapability may encounter.

AbleAgentSituationReport
Captures the entire context of an AgentSituation in which an agent currently finds itself, including any response information needed by the agent before the agent takes any action on the situation.

AbleBasicService
The base class of all ABLE-provided platform services, such as the VerifiableAgentDirectoryService, the VerifiableAgentNamingService, and the AgentLifeCycleService; this class is inserted between the JAS RMIBasicService and all ABLE-supplied services to provide common function to the ABLE-supplied services.

AblePersistenceSupport
AblePersistenceSupport is a support Object that others can use to persist information.

AblePersistenceSupportProcessor
This interface must be implemented by all objects wishing to interface with the AblePersistenceSupport object.

AblePlatformAgent
This class defines the base interface, or behavior, which all ABLE platform agents must support, especially if they are to be created and managed through Able's Agent Lifecycle Service.

AblePlatformDefaultAgent
This class provides an enhanced implementation of a JSR 87 (Java Agent Services or JAS) compliant agent, but also inherits all the capabilities of an AbleDefaultAgent; as a JAS agent, the agent obtains a globally unique AgentName from the Agent Naming Service, registers a description with the Agent Directory Service, and is able to send and receive messages through the Message Transport System.

AblePlatformDefaultAgentCustomizer
This class provides the customizer for the Platform tab.

AblePlatformPreferences
This class encapsulates and provides (mostly read-only) access to the end-user's platform operating preferences.

AblePlatformPreferences.AgentPoolEntry_
This class encapsulates the definition of a single agent pool as found in a platform preference file.

AblePlatformPreferences.PrincipalEntry_
This class encapsulates the definition of a single Principal as found in a platform preference file.

AblePlatformPreferences.ServiceEntry_
This class encapsulates the definition of a single platform Service as found in a platform preference file.

AblePlatformPreferences.TrustLevelEntry_
This class encapsulates the definition of a single TrustLevel as found in a platform preference file.

AblePlatformService
This interface is implemented by platform services provided by ABLE.

AblePlatformServiceEvent
This class defines events generated by those ABLE-supplied platform services that implement the AblePlatformServiceEventGenerator interface.

AblePlatformServiceEventGenerator
This interface is implemented by platform services that generate service events that can be listened for by the general public; methods are provided to allow listeners of service events to register and deregister with the implementing service.

AblePlatformServiceEventListener
This interface specifies the means by which service event listeners can accept AblePlatformServiceEvents from service event generators for processing.

AblePlatformSupport
This class specifies the remote interface to ABLE platform infrastructure objects, one of which "lives" inside each agent pool participating in the overall ABLE platform.

AbleSecureKey
In a secure platform, VerifiableAgentNames will be used to authenticate the caller when calling secure methods.

AbleSecuritySupport
AbleSecuritySupport is a support object that others can use to provide security for their objects.

AgentLifeCycleException
This class is the generic exception associated with all agent lifecycle services.

AgentLifeCycleFailure
An AgentLifeCycleFailure is thrown when an Agent Lifecycle operation fails due to a problem with the Agent Lifecycle Service infrastructure.

AgentLifeCycleService
The AgentLifeCycleService interface defines the operations that can be requested of an Agent Lifecycle Service.

AgentLoggingException
AgentLoggingException is the generic exception associated with all ABLE platform Agent Logging services.

AgentLoggingService
The AgentLoggingService interface defines the operations that can be requested of an ABLE platform Agent Logging Service.

PlatformPersistenceException
The PlatformPersistenceException is the generic exception associated with all platform persistence operations.

PlatformPersistenceService
The PlatformPersistenceService interface defines the operations that can be requested of the platform persistence service object.

PlatformSupportService
The PlatformSupportService interface defines the operations that can be requested of a Platform Support Service.

PlatformSupportServiceException
PlatformSupportServiceException is the generic exception associated with the ABLE Platform Support Service.

RmiAblePlatformService
This interface is implemented by remote platform services provided by ABLE.

RmiAblePlatformServiceEventGenerator
This interface is implemented by remote platform services that generate service events that can be listened for by the general public; methods are provided to allow listeners of service events to register and deregister with the implementing service.

RmiAgentLifeCycleService
The RmiAgentLifeCycleService interface defines the operations that can be requested of a remote Agent Lifecycle Service.

RmiAgentLoggingService
Defines the behavior of an RMI Agent Logging Service.

RmiPlatformPersistenceService
Defines the behavior of an RMI Platform Persistence Service.

RmiPlatformSupportService
The RmiPlatformSupportService interface defines the operations that can be requested of a remote Platform Support Service.

RMIVerifiableDirectoryService
Defines the behavior of a Verifiable Directory Service.

RMIVerifiableNamingService
Defines the behavior of a Verifiable Naming Service.

VerifiableAgentDirectoryService
A platform entity will grab a RMIVerifiableDirectoryProxy to communicate to the VerifiableDirectoryService.

VerifiableAgentName
An agent name which can be verified as created by a VerifiableAgentNamingService.

VerifiableAgentNamingService
An agent name is said to be verifiable if it holds a private key that matches a public key which the VerifiableAgentNamingService holds onto and trusts.
