Hi,
Your agent can clone himself by calling the doClone() of the Agent class as below
ContainerID cid = new ContainerID("Container-1", null);
String cloneName = getLocalName()+"_Clone1";
doClone(cid, cloneName);
To create many clones you can do something like that (how to initialize the locations variable is up to you):
private String originalAgentName;
private List<ContainerID> locations;
public void setup() {
originalAgentName = getLocalName();
...
}
// somewhere in your code
final Iterator<ContainerID> = locations.iterator();
addBehaviour(new Behaviour(null) {
public void action() {
if (getLocalName().equals(originalAgentName)) {
// I'm the original agent
if (it.hasNext()) {
ContainerID destination = it.next();
String newName = "clone-on-"+destination.getName();
doClone(destination, newName);
}
}
}
public Boolean done() {
return !it.hasNext();
}
} );
Pay attention that in ordet to be clonable your agent must be fully Serializable.
Bye,
Giovanni

Hi Giovanni,
Thanks for your reply.
I want to create clones of agents already running in the main container, in other non-main containers.
Regards

Hi,
Question: do you just want to create many instances of a given agent class or you actually want to create clones of an already running agent (i.e. new instances of the same class that at the time of their creation have exactly the same internal state of the original agent). Jade supports both options, but, of course, you have to do different things.
Bye,
Giovanni

Hi,
I want to create clones of agents in multiple containers. How can I do it using instances of agent classes?
Thanks!!
