Uses of Package
com.ibm.able.platform

Packages that use com.ibm.able.platform
com.ibm.able.beans.knn The knn package contains the k Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) learning algorithm  for classifying objects. 
com.ibm.able.conversation The com.ibm.able.conversation contains classes for conversation management in ABLE. 
com.ibm.able.platform The com.ibm.able.platform package provides a set of classes that allows a distributed platform consisting of platform services and agents to be configured and run across physical systems. 
 

Classes in com.ibm.able.platform used by com.ibm.able.beans.knn
AblePlatformAgent
          This class defines the base interface, or behavior, which all ABLE platform agents must support, especially if they are to be created and managed through Able's Agent Lifecycle Service.
AblePlatformDefaultAgent
          This class provides an enhanced implementation of a JSR 87 (Java Agent Services or JAS) compliant agent, but also inherits all the capabilities of an AbleDefaultAgent; as a JAS agent, the agent obtains a globally unique AgentName from the Agent Naming Service, registers a description with the Agent Directory Service, and is able to send and receive messages through the Message Transport System.

AblePlatformDefaultAgentCustomizer
          This class provides the customizer for the Platform tab.
 

Classes in com.ibm.able.platform used by com.ibm.able.platform
AbleAgentClassDescription
          An instance of this class contains information about an individual agent that the Agent Lifecycle Service may create within the distributed platform; a platform console (or some other object) can obtain a collection of AgentClassDescription objects from the Agent Lifecycle Service and then use the descriptions in conjunction with the Agent Lifecycle Service to create instances of new agents within the platform.
AbleBasicService
          The base class of all ABLE-provided platform services, such as the VerifiableAgentDirectoryService, the VerifiableAgentNamingService, and the AgentLifeCycleService; this class is inserted between the JAS RMIBasicService and all ABLE-supplied services to provide common function to the ABLE-supplied services.
AblePersistenceSupport
          AblePersistenceSupport is a support Object that others can use to persist information.
AblePersistenceSupportProcessor
          This interface must be implemented by all objects wishing to interface with the AblePersistenceSupport object.
AblePlatformAgent
          This class defines the base interface, or behavior, which all ABLE platform agents must support, especially if they are to be created and managed through Able's Agent Lifecycle Service.
AblePlatformDefaultAgent
          This class provides an enhanced implementation of a JSR 87 (Java Agent Services or JAS) compliant agent, but also inherits all the capabilities of an AbleDefaultAgent; as a JAS agent, the agent obtains a globally unique AgentName from the Agent Naming Service, registers a description with the Agent Directory Service, and is able to send and receive messages through the Message Transport System.
AblePlatformDefaultAgentCustomizer
          This class provides the customizer for the Platform tab.
AblePlatformPreferences
          This class encapsulates and provides (mostly read-only) access to the end-user's platform operating preferences as read from a physical properties file named by AblePlatform.PropertiesFileName (ableplatform.preferences at the time of this writing); the properties file is expected to reside in the directory specified by the System property able.prefdir, or failing that, the directory specified by the System property user.home (system properties may be overriden by using the -D parameter on a Java program's start command).
AblePlatformPreferences.AgentPoolEntry_
          This class encapsulates the definition of a single agent pool as found in a platform preference file.
AblePlatformPreferences.PrincipalEntry_
          This class encapsulates the definition of a single Principal as found in a platform preference file.
AblePlatformPreferences.ServiceEntry_
          This class encapsulates the definition of a single platform Service as found in a platform preference file.
AblePlatformPreferences.TrustLevelEntry_
          This class encapsulates the definition of a single TrustLevel as found in a platform preference file.
AblePlatformService
          This interface is implemented by platform services provided by ABLE.
AblePlatformServiceEvent
          This class defines events generated by those ABLE-supplied platform services that implement the AblePlatformServiceEventGenerator interface.
AblePlatformServiceEventGenerator
          This interface is implemented by platform services that generate service events that can be listened for by the general public; methods are provided to allow listeners of service events to register and deregister with the implementing service.
AblePlatformServiceEventListener
          This interface specifies the means by which service event listeners can accept AblePlatformServiceEvents from service event generators for processing.
AblePlatformSupport
          This class specifies the remote interface to ABLE platform infrastructure objects, one of which "lives" inside each agent pool participating in the overall ABLE platform.
AbleSecureKey
          In a secure platform, VerifiableAgentNames will be used to authenticate the caller when calling secure methods.
AbleSecuritySupport
          AbleSecuritySupport is a support object that others can use to provide security for their objects.
AgentLifeCycleException
          This class is the generic exception associated with all agent lifecycle services.
AgentLifeCycleFailure
          An AgentLifeCycleFailure is thrown when an Agent Lifecycle operation fails due to a problem with the Agent Lifecycle Service infrastructure.
AgentLifeCycleService
          The AgentLifeCycleService interface defines the operations that can be requested of an Agent Lifecycle Service.
PlatformPersistenceException
          The PlatformPersistenceException is the generic exception associated with all platform persistence operations.
PlatformPersistenceService
          The PlatformPersistenceService interface defines the operations that can be requested of the platform persistence service object.
RmiAblePlatformService
          This interface is implemented by remote platform services provided by ABLE.
RmiAblePlatformServiceEventGenerator
          This interface is implemented by remote platform services that generate service events that can be listened for by the general public; methods are provided to allow listeners of service events to register and deregister with the implementing service.
RmiAgentLifeCycleService
          The RmiAgentLifeCycleService interface defines the operations that can be requested of a remote Agent Lifecycle Service.
RmiPlatformPersistenceService
          Defines the behavior of an RMI Platform Persistence Service.
RMIVerifiableDirectoryService
          Defines the behavior of a Verifiable Directory Service.
RMIVerifiableNamingService
          Defines the behavior of a Verifiable Naming Service.
VerifiableAgentDirectoryService
          A platform entity will grab a RMIVerifiableDirectoryProxy to communicate to the VerifiableDirectoryService.
VerifiableAgentName
          An agent name which can be verified as created by a VerifiableAgentNamingService.
VerifiableAgentNamingService
          An agent name is said to be verifiable if it holds a private key that matches a public key which the VerifiableAgentNamingService holds onto and trusts.
