Agent Class Generator

The Agent Generator is a supporting tool for generating Gateway Agents (which reside in the Agent Gateway and provide a concrete web service interface for a particular Target Agents).

Quick steps to generate a Gateway Agent

Edit the build.properties file. Create Java interface of the agent's web service (and compile it).
Generate the agent classes:
>ant generate_agent
Change the generated implementation of the GatewayAgent class for every web service method to fit your case.
Compile and pack the Gateway Agent classes:
>ant jar_agent
Note: It is recommended to use the agentsrc directory as the source directory of the agent.
