Field Detail

negoThread

protected java.lang.Thread negoThread

stopNegotiation

public boolean stopNegotiation

stopNegotiation indicates that the session has now ended. it is checked after every call to the agent, and if it happens to be true, session is immediately returned without any updates to the results list. This is because killing the thread in many cases will return Agent.getActions() but with a stale action. By setting stopNegotiation to true before killing, the agent will still immediately return.

threadFinished

public boolean threadFinished
