Hello JADErs,
I experience a problem when running a contract net protocol with very
many agents (initiators as well as participants):
To keep my gui clean I do a doDelete on the initiator as soon as the
protocol is over. However, because of the mass of agents some
participants might answer after deletion of the initiator. So those
participants get a FAILURE message from the AMS saying that this agent
does not exist. This message is hard to handle since it is not conform
to my ontology (I get a ontology-exception when doing extractContent),
yet it seems to be in sequence since it is not handled by my
handleOutOfSequence method.
Of course, I could let my participants check for the initiator every
time they send, but this way I still could not be sure the agent is
still alive.
It's not that important, but it would be nice to get rid of threads I
don't use anymore.
Thanks a lot for any advice,
Heiko
