public interface Agent
extends Object, AgentOperations, IDLEntity

The Location Service Agent is a collection of methods that enable you to discover objects on a network of Smart Agents. Methods for the Agent interface can be divided into two groups: those that query a Smart Agent for data describing instances, and those that register and unregisters triggers. You can query based on the interface's repository ID, or based on a combination of the interface's repository ID and the instance name. Results of a query can be returned as either object references or more complete instance descriptions. Triggers are a notification mechanism by which clients of the Location Service can be notified of changes to the availability of instances.
