Interface FIPA

public interface FIPA

extends AREMessaging

Constants related to FIPA messaging in the ARE. FIPA messaging in the ARE is inspired by the standards and drafts of the FIPA organization (www.fipa.org). Constants that are defined in this interface relate only to the FIPA part of the message; since this interface extends from the interface AREMessage, it also defines, by inheritance, all the constants related to ARE messaging in general.

Field Detail

VALUE_CONTENT_TYPE_FIPA

public static final java.lang.String VALUE_CONTENT_TYPE_FIPA

Content-type for messages that uses Tryllian's encoding of fipa messages. Use this field as the value of meta field AREMessaging.FIELD_CONTENT_TYPE.

Constant Field Values

FIELD_CONVERSATION_ID

public static final java.lang.String FIELD_CONVERSATION_ID

Meta-field indicating the id of the conversation that this message is part of.

This is part of the general ARE message interface, not just for FIPA-conformant messages. It also maps directly to the FIPA conversation-id message parameter, but it is not in the content where the fipa-format message is, but in the Meta fields of the message, which allows the ARE message broker subsystem to use it.

Constant Field Values

FIELD_REPLY_WITH

public static final java.lang.String FIELD_REPLY_WITH

Content-field indicating that a reply to this message should include the value of this field in a "in-reply-to" tuple.

This is only part of FIPA-conformant messages, that the system agents use. It is used alongside conversation-id. System agents don't generate reply-with tuples, but when replying to an agent that has this present, it will generate FIPA replies with the in-reply-to tuple set to the value of the reply-with in the message that was replied to.

Constant Field Values

FIELD_IN_REPLY_TO

public static final java.lang.String FIELD_IN_REPLY_TO

Content-field indicating that a reply to this message should include the value of this field in a "in-reply-to" tuple.

This is only part of FIPA-conformant messages, that the system agents use. It is used alongside conversation-id. System agents only generate in-reply-to tuples, not reply-with, but when replying to an agent that has this present, it will generate FIPA replies with the in-reply-to tuple set to the value of the reply-with in the message that was replied to.
