Dear France,
You could try something like to following, where the in-process
agent is a nested class in your main program:

class main {
boolean done;
Object contents;

    class agent {
        action method() {
            process action
            contents = returned contents
            done = true
        }
    }

    main method {
        while (!done) {Thread.sleep(1000)}
        process contents
    }
}

    }

    main method {
        while (!done) {Thread.sleep(1000)}
        process contents
    }

Hi Kieran,

Thanks for the reply. Once the agent is launched, is it able to send a message to
the application that launched it? If so, how is that done?

Thanks,
France

Dear France,
    I had this problem and did the following. I created an in process
agent in my Java program, see the programmers guide and the inprocess
example code. I created a message for this agent and then launched it on
a distributed container from the main container (all inside my Java
program). This agent was then able to look up another agent running on
the main container. The agent running on the main container could be
sent a message, process the message and then reply to the agent launched
from my program. If there is a better way of doing this I would be
interested to know what it is also.

Thanks,
Kieran.
