I was working on Java Agent Development Framework, which is the language of creating mobile agents. I was wondering that the code that I will write in JADE, will work over HTTP or below the HTTP? As I am opaque to the inside working and execution of JADE I couldn’t get the answer directly…Thanks in advance 🙂

    JADE (or more generally FIPA standard) introduces the concept of platform consisting of one or more containers on which agents live. Each container is made up by a separate JVM. JADE distinguishes between two types of communication, depending on where the talking agents live:

    • intra-platform communication, when messages are exchanged between agents living on different containers of the same plaform
    • inter-platform communication, when messages are exchanged between agents living in different platforms

    Depending on where the talking agents live, different protocol will be used.

    For intra-platform communication one of the following transport protocols will be used:

    • RMI (default), going directly over TCP/IP
    • proprietary protocol based on TCP sockets (used in J2ME environment in JADE LEAP platform)

    For inter-platform communication one of the following transport protocols will be used:

    • IIOP (Sun or ORBacus implementation)
    • HTTP and HTTPS
    • JMS
    • Jabber XMPP

    Since the question is specific to JADE platform, I strongly encourage you to use JADE mailing list: http://jade.tilab.com/newuser.php
