All the agents are displayed in the list box in Tahiti. By selecting one of the list items, you can control the corresponding agent (by dispatching it, deleting it, requesting a dialog with it, etc.).

  • Create: Creates a new aglet. A dialog window for the aglet's URL specification will appear. (Detailed information on creating an aglet is here )
  • Dialog: Sends a request to an aglet to open its dialog panel. (When this button is clicked, an onDialog() message is sent to the aglet.)
  • AgletInfo: Shows the properties of the agent.
  • Dispose: Destroys the agent.
  • Clone: Make a copy of the agent. Cloned agent runs on the same context.

    atp://aglets.trl.ibm.com:434
  • Retract: Retracts (draw backs) a dispatched agent from a remote server. First specify the target server and you will get a list of agents on the target server. Then, you can specify one of the aglets form the server.
