Class SequentialActionPlanBody

java.lang.Object

jade.core.behaviours.Behaviour

jade.core.behaviours.CompositeBehaviour

jade.core.behaviours.SerialBehaviour

bdi4jade.plan.planbody.SequentialActionPlanBody

All Implemented Interfaces:

GoalListener, PlanBody, java.io.Serializable, java.util.EventListener

public class SequentialActionPlanBody
extends jade.core.behaviours.SequentialBehaviour
implements PlanBody

This allows a plan body to inherit from both AbstractPlanBody and SequentialBehaviour.

public SequentialActionPlanBody()

Method Detail

dispatchGoal

public boolean dispatchGoal(Goal goal)

Description copied from interface: PlanBody

Dispatches a goal to be achieved. It is added as a top level agent goal, that is, the dispatched goal is independent of the goal that this plan body is trying to achieve.

Specified by:

dispatchGoal in interface PlanBody

Parameters:

goal - the goal to be dispatched.

Returns:

true if the goal could be dispatched, false otherwise.

dispatchSubgoal

public boolean dispatchSubgoal(Goal subgoal)

Description copied from interface: PlanBody

Dispatches a subgoal to be achieved. Dispatched subgoals are goals of an agent as long as the plan body that dispatched it is being executed.

Specified by:

dispatchSubgoal in interface PlanBody

Parameters:

subgoal - the subgoal to be dispatched.

Returns:

true if the goal could be dispatched, false otherwise.

dispatchSubgoalAndListen

public boolean dispatchSubgoalAndListen(Goal subgoal)

Description copied from interface: PlanBody

Dispatches a subgoal to be achieved and registers itself as a listener to receive a notification of the end of execution of the goal.

Specified by:

dispatchSubgoalAndListen in interface PlanBody

Parameters:

subgoal - the subgoal to be dispatched.

Returns:

true if the goal could be dispatched, false otherwise.

getBeliefBase

public BeliefBase getBeliefBase()

Description copied from interface: PlanBody

Returns the belief base of the capability associated with the plan of this plan body.

Specified by:

getBeliefBase in interface PlanBody

Returns:

the belief base containing the capability beliefs.

getCapability

public Capability getCapability()

Description copied from interface: PlanBody

Returns the capability associated with the plan of this plan body.

Specified by:

getCapability in interface PlanBody

Returns:

the capability.

getEndState

public Plan.EndState getEndState()

Description copied from interface: PlanBody

Returns the end state of the execution of this plan.

Specified by:

getEndState in interface PlanBody

Returns:

the end state of this plan, or null if it has not finished yet.

getGoal

public Goal getGoal()

Description copied from interface: PlanBody

Returns the goal to be achieved by this plan body.

Specified by:

getGoal in interface PlanBody

Returns:

the goal.

getGoalEvent

public GoalEvent getGoalEvent()

Description copied from interface: PlanBody

Returns a goal event from the queue. If the queue is empty, the behavior associated with this plan instance is blocked.

Specified by:

getGoalEvent in interface PlanBody

Returns:

the goal event or null if the queue is empty.

getGoalEvent

public GoalEvent getGoalEvent(boolean block)

Description copied from interface: PlanBody

Returns a goal event from the queue. If the queue is empty, the behavior associated with this plan instance is going to be blocked if the parameter passed to this method is true.

Specified by:

getGoalEvent in interface PlanBody

Parameters:

block - true if the behavior must be blocked if the queue is empty.

Returns:

the goal event or null if the queue is empty.

getGoalEvent

public GoalEvent getGoalEvent(long ms)

Description copied from interface: PlanBody

Returns a goal event from the queue. If the queue is empty, the behavior associated with this plan instance is going to be blocked for the specified milliseconds.

Specified by:

getGoalEvent in interface PlanBody

Parameters:

ms - the maximum amount of time that the behavior must be blocked.

Returns:

the goal event or null if the queue is empty.

getPlan

public Plan getPlan()

Description copied from interface: PlanBody

Returns the Plan that is associated with this plan instance.

Specified by:

getPlan in interface PlanBody

Returns:

the plan.

goalPerformed

public void goalPerformed(GoalEvent event)

Description copied from interface: GoalListener

Notifies the listener that a goal that was performed.

Specified by:

goalPerformed in interface GoalListener

Parameters:

event - the goal event that occurred.

init

public void init(Plan plan,
                 Intention intention)
          throws PlanInstantiationException

Description copied from interface: PlanBody

Initializes this plan body. It associates this plan body with a plan definition (Plan) and an Intention. If this plan body has already been initialized, this method throws a PlanInstantiationException.

Specified by:

init in interface PlanBody

Parameters:

plan - the plan associated this this plan body.

intention - the intention that this plan instance have to achieve.

Throws:

PlanInstantiationException - if this plan body has already been initialized.

start

public void start()

Description copied from interface: PlanBody

Starts the execution of a plan body, a Behaviour, associated with this plan.

Specified by:

start in interface PlanBody

stop

public void stop()

Description copied from interface: PlanBody

Stops the plan body, a Behaviour, associated with this plan. If the body implements the DisposablePlanBody, it invokes the method to about the plan body, so it can perform finalizations.

Specified by:

stop in interface PlanBody
