jAgE 2.5

Released: 25 November 2011

Platform

Core component

  • Splitting the project in two: The platform module holds the code related to what will become AgE components framework (Containers, ComponentDefinitions, etc.), the services module contains logic specific to multi-agents computations: (Workplaces, Agents, Queries, etc.).
  • Broadcast selector was changed to select all addresses before initialisation (AGE-6).
  • Added support for multicast selectors (AGE-21).
  • New, simplified addressing mechanism (AGE-65). This new version greatly reduces the complexity of addressing configuration. For information about its usage refer to: Addressing, about implementation: Addressing scheme implementation. If you are upgrading from the older jAgE version, you may be interested in a short upgrade guide.
  • New, unified message classes (AGE-65). For their description refer to: Messaging implementation. If you are upgrading from the older jAgE version, you may be interested in a short upgrade guide.
  • Completely new queries API based on the fluent interface pattern (AGE-67). For their description refer to: Queries and Queries implementation.
  • ConnectedSimpleWorkplace added as an example implementation of a workplace aware of another workplaces (AGE-71).

Configuration

  • A priori verification mechanism introduced (AGE-7)
  • Components' dependency and properties injection is now independent from jAgE Properties API. (AGE-31) (Description)
    • Components not longer have to implement IPropertyContainer and can be any simple POJO.
    • Dependencies will be autowired, injected through setters, then fields annotated with @Inject.
    • Properties will be injected through setters, Then fields. For backward compatibility, annotated jAgE Properties are also still supported, but this behavior is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
    • Explicit dependencies will override implicit autowiring.
  • Support for autowiring of generic collections (lists, sets, maps) (AGE-16). All collections that are annotated with @Inject are now looked up with its generic type taken into consideration. For more information about autowiring refer to: Components, about changes to the configuration file: SpecyfikacjaPlikuKonfiguracyjnego.
  • Tables support in configuration and autowiring (AGE-19). Tables can be used as with the <array /> element in XML configuration in the same way as <list /> and <map />. For more information refer to: SpecyfikacjaPlikuKonfiguracyjnego.
  • Improved support for generics in the properties library (AGE-16, AGE-21).
  • Resource loading similar to the one from Spring is now available (AGE-62). For more information about supported protocols refer to: Node start-up and command line arguments.

Other changes

  • Logging framework has been changed to SLF4J (AGE-59).
  • New examples (for their description see Sample applications):
    • strategy delegation (AGE-55),
    • configuration of arrays (AGE-19),
    • configuration of collections (AGE-16),
    • multiworkplace (AGE-71).
  • Bug fixes:
    • Runtime exceptions thrown by actions are now handled by the aggregate and will no longer silently kill the current thread. (AGE-78)
  • General code clean-up and upgrade to better exploit newer Java versions.
  • Documentation upgrade and its further translation.
