Mobile Agent Sample

_______________________________________________________________________
This set of files illustrates the use of a transportable object
(a mobile agent) on one computer only.

The files in this directory are:
  - ServerInterface.java        The agent server interface file
  - AgentInterface.java         The agent interface file
  - Client.java                 The client for launching the agent
                                 on the originating host
  - Server.java                 The agent server for hosting a visiting
                                 agent
  - Agent.java                  The mobile agent source file.

To run:
  1. Copy all the files in this sample to a directory named "agent".
  2. Use the "compile" file to compile the source files:
       %compile
  3. Run the reg.bat batch file to start a RMIRegistry at port 12345:
       %rmiregistry 12345
  4. Launch three servers in three separate window - the servers
     will run at different ports:
       %run1
       %run2
       %run3
  5. Open a fourth window and run the cient which launches a mobile agent:
         % runClient
      If all goes well, you should see the same message displayed on each
      server screen, generated by the mobile agent as it visits each
      host in turn.     
  6. Stop your servers by entering CTRL-C in each server window.
