Method Detail

processCommandLineArguments

protected void processCommandLineArguments()

Description copied from class: IXAgent

Handles command-line arguments common to all I-X agents. At present, this method also makes any standard I-X changes to the look and feel.

The following are handled directly my this method:

    -debug=boolean
    -ipc=name
    -ipc-name=name
    -symbol-name=name
    -display-name=name
 

debug is used to set Debug.on.

The name in -ipc=name argument will be interpreted by the IPC.makeCommunicationStrategy(String) method.

The name in the -icp-name=name argument sets the name that this agent calls itself for IPC and that is returned by the getAgentIPCName() method.

Needs further explanation of ipc-name, and of symbol-name and display-name. ...

The processCommandLineArguments method of this agent's contact manager is called to handle arguments that list relationships with other agents.

Overrides:
