Hi,

If you look at the latest JADE snapshot you can use the DFFederator agent available in the misc add-on. This agent allows you to federate DFs by means of a GUI. You can look at the code to see how to do that from your application.

Bye

Giovanni

and how can i do that without a gui?
in my application i have one "server" plataform and several others (running
on other computers) that i which would connect to that one in such a way
that they could search each other.
i already have the http add-on correctly installed, but i have no idea on
how to federate 2 DF's... i tried doing this:
        remoteDF = new AID("df@"+remoteHost+":9999/Central",true);
        remoteDF.addAddresses("http://"+remoteHost+":9999/Central");
like someone had suggested before, but when i perform a search on remoteDF
all i get is one DF agent using up all the CPU and never producing any
result.

any clues?

thanks in advance,
