Hi Jaders

Im very new to Jade and hope some of you can help me out!

I have two agents. The first is migrated from the host machine to a target machine. The second is always resident on the target machine.
The second agent is used to provide a 'handshake' from of security between the mobile agent.

The mobile agent contains a Vector (String) and a HashMap (String, String). This data is required by the second agent.

My question is, what is the best way to pass this data to the second agent?

Is there a way of passing the whole data structure or should I send many ACL messages? - I read that they can be encoded in XML, would this help?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards

Steve.
