RE: [smila-dev] New Feature: Agent and AgentController

[Georg Schmidt <gschmidt@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Daniel,

great stuff.

I would like to talk to you about some questions I got in mind when looking at the documentation. Where is a section in the documentation where I could add some comments. I also would like to bring me a bit in in the area of performance counters.

General. The following things came in my mind when looking at the documentation.

1. Schemas
   We do not have yet a good mechanism for resolving schemas. That would lead issues when we choose another deployment structure, because relative path elements will no longer work.

2. About message incoming in agent...
   How do you handle large volume of incoming messages? Are there specific threads that wait for an change and give the processing to another? (Web server pattern... with a pool of worker threads). Which incoming message types are supported? Generally from documentation I assume that there is an internal Java API. How is it about general messaging?

I would like to bring me in.

Kind regards,

Georg

Hi all,


I did some updates on the Agent interface and the AgentController implementation. I also added a FeedAgent to receive RSS and Atom feeds using ROME. Please check out the updated documentation on http://wiki.eclipse.org/SMILA/Documentation.

I also provided a tutorial "How to implement an Agent" http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php?title=SMILA/Development_Guidelines/How_to_implement_an_agent.


Please report any comments or issues !
Still waiting for some thoughts about the PerformanceCounters for agents/crawlers.

Bye,
Daniel
