AgentContext (SARL Agent Oriented Programming Language 0.10.0 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

Context
```
public interface AgentContext
```
An AgentContext defines the boundary of a sub-system, and gathers a collection of Spaces. Each context has a default context that provides a basic interaction context.

    Description copied from interface: AgentContext
    
    Replies the identifier of the context.

    the identifier of the context.
  - getDefaultSpace

def getDefaultSpace() : EventSpace 
```
    Description copied from interface: AgentContext
    
    Replies the default space of the context. The default space is assumed to be always an event-based space.
    
    Returns:
    
    the default space.
  - getSpaces
```
@Pure
def getSpaces() : SynchronizedIterable<? extends Space> 
```
    Description copied from interface: AgentContext
    
    Replies all the spaces defined in this context.

def getSpaces(spec : Class<? extends SpaceSpecification<S>>) : SynchronizedIterable<S>  with <S extends Space> 
```
    Description copied from interface: AgentContext
    
    Replies all the spaces that are implementing the given specification.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    S - - type of the replied space.
    
    Parameters:
    
    spec - specification of the space to retreive.
    
    Returns:
    
    the spaces associated to the given space specification.
  - createSpace
```
def createSpace(spec : Class<? extends SpaceSpecification<S>>,
                spaceUUID : UUID,
                creationParams : Object*) : S  with <S extends Space> 
```
    Description copied from interface: AgentContext
    
    Create an instance of space following the given specification. This function always creates a new instance of space. It means that is a space with the given identifier already exists, this function does nothing and replies null. If you want to find an existing space prior to the creation of a new one, you should use AgentContext.getOrCreateSpace(Class, UUID, Object...).
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    S - - type of the created space.
    
    Parameters:
    
    spec - specification of the space to create.
    
    spaceUUID - identifier of the new space.
    
    creationParams - parameters to pass to the space constructor.
    
    Returns:
    
    the new space, or null if the space already exists.

    Description copied from interface: AgentContext
    
    Retreive or create an instance of space which was created with the given specification.
    This function tries to find a space that was created with the given specification. If none was found, this function creates a new space with the given space identifier and creation parameters.
    Caution #1: This function ignores the default space when searching for a space created with an EventSpaceSpecification or OpenEventSpaceSpecification. Consequently, in the case of the spec argument is one of the previous types, and there is no other space in the context that was created with this specification, then the function creates a totally new space.
    Caution #2: The spaceUUID parameter is used only if no existing space created with the given specification was found.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    S - - type of the replied space.
    
    Parameters:
    
    spec - specification of the space to retreive/create.
    
    spaceUUID - identifier used only when creating the space.
    
    creationParams - parameters to pass to the space constructor.
    
    Returns:
    
    the space, never null and never the default space.

```
    Description copied from interface: AgentContext
    
    Retreive or create an instance of space which was created with the given specification.
    This function tries to find a space that was created with the given specification. If none was found, this function creates a new space with the given space identifier and creation parameters.
    Caution: This function ignores the default space when searching for a space created with an EventSpaceSpecification or OpenEventSpaceSpecification. Consequently, in the case of the spec argument is one of the previous types, and there is no other space in the context that was created with this specification, then the function creates a totally new space.
    Caution: The spaceUUID parameter is used only if no existing space created with the given specification was found.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    S - - type of the replied space.
    
    Parameters:
    
    spec - specification of the space to retreive/create.
    
    spaceUUID - identifier used only when creating the space.
    
    creationParams - parameters to pass to the space constructor.
    
    Returns:
    
    the space, never null and never the default space.

    Description copied from interface: AgentContext
    
    Retreive or create an instance of space with the given identifier.
    This function tries to find a space with the given identifier. If none was found, this function creates a new space with the given specification and creation parameters.
    Caution #1: The spaceUUID parameter is given to the specification when creating the space.
    Caution #2: The spaceUUID parameter is equal to the identifier of the default space in this context, then the default space is returned by this function.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    S - - type of the replied space.
    
    Parameters:
    
    spaceUUID - identifier of the space.

    the space, never null.
