Boot GUI


The Boot GUI allows setting the configuration parameters needed to start rca, both the main-container or a normal container. If no value has been specified on the command line, this gui is initialized by using the default values.

The configuration properties are the following:

Host

The hostname where the main-container is running. When starting a platform the host name must be local host.

Port

The port number where the RMI registry has been created by the main-container, or will be created if this is the main-container.

Gui

Select this button to launch the RMA gui

Container

Select this button to launch an agent-container, rather than a main-container.

Agents

Insert the list of agent specifiers indicating all the agents to be launched on this container. An agent specifier is composed of an agent name and an agent class, separated by ":"

The Save button allows to save these configuration parameters into a file, for later reusage.

The File button allows to read these configuration parameters from a file

Having set all the parameters, run rca by clicking the Run button.
