public class FileFinder
extends Agent
An Agent subclass for finding files that match a particular set of filename filters.

Constructor Index

o FileFinder()
Constructor - does nothing by design, but it's useful to leave the println in there just to convince yourself that the Agent has been instantiated on the AgentServer.

Method Index

o configure(Frame)
Put up a ConfigurationDialog that gets the arguments this Agent needs to run on an AgentServer.
o getArguments()
Return whatever arguments the configure method got from the user as a Vector of Strings.
o run()
The run loop for this Agent.
o setArguments(Vector)
Configure the Agent with the specified Vector of Strings as 'arguments'.
