Starting the Sample TIBCO Enterprise Administrator Agent

TIBCO Enterprise Administrator SDK ships with samples that demonstrate the various aspects of developing product agents. This procedure lists how to start the sample, HelloWorldAgent.java that is located under TIBCO_HOME/tea/<version>/samples/helloworld.

1. Navigate to TIBCO_HOME/tea/<version>/samples/helloworld.
2. Open TIBCO_HOME/tea/<version>/samples/helloworld/helloworld/src/com/tibco/tea/agent/HelloWorldAgent.java. By default, the following code is displayed. You can make your changes to the code to suit your needs.

   import com.tibco.tea.agent.TeaAgent;
   import com.tibco.tea.agent.TeaAgentServer;
   import com.tibco.tea.agent.api.TeaObjectType;
   import com.tibco.tea.agent.api.TeaConcept;
   import com.tibco.tea.agent.api.TeaGetInfo;
   import com.tibco.tea.agent.api.TeaOperation;
   import com.tibco.tea.agent.api.TeaParam;
   import com.tibco.tea.agent.types.AgentObjectInfo;
   import java.io.IOException;
    
   @TeaObjectType(name = "HelloWorldAgent", concept = TeaConcept.TOP_LEVEL, 
   description = "Hello World Agent")
   
   public class HelloWorldAgent {
       @TeaGetInfo
       public AgentObjectInfo getInfo() {
           AgentObjectInfo agentObject = new AgentObjectInfo();
           agentObject.setName("helloworld");
           agentObject.setDesc("Hellow World Agent");
           return agentObject;
       }
       @TeaOperation(name = "helloworld", description = "Send greetings")
       public String helloworld(
       @TeaParam(name = "greetings", description = "Greetins parameter")final String greetings) 
        throws IOException {
           return "Hello " + greetings;
       }
       public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception {
           TeaAgent agent = new TeaAgent("HelloWorldAgent", "1.1", "Hellow World Agent");
           agent.registerInstance(new HelloWorldAgent());
           TeaAgentServer server = new TeaAgentServer(agent, 1234, "/helloworldagent");
           server.start();
       }
   }

3. Open the TIBCO_HOME/tea/<version>/samples/helloworld/build.xml.By default, the following code is displayed. You can make your changes to the code to suit your needs.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <project name="agent" default="compile">
     <target name="compile">
       <javac srcdir="src" destdir="dist">
         <classpath>
           <fileset dir="../../lib">
             <include name="*.jar"/>
           </fileset>
         </classpath>
       </javac>
     </target>
    
     <target name="start">
       <java classname="HelloWorldAgent" fork="yes">
         <classpath>
           <pathelement location="dist/"/>
           <fileset dir="../../lib">
             <include name="*.jar"/>
           </fileset>
         </classpath>
       </java>
     </target>
   </project>

4. From the command prompt, navigate to TIBCO_HOME/tea/<version>/samples/helloworld. To build the java file, run ant.
5. To start the agent, run ant start.
6. To register the agent with the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator, perform the following steps:
