Answer 1

try something like this ("agent" is you current agent from whitch you create other agent):
private static Codec codec = new SLCodec();
private static ContentManager cm = new ContentManager();
static
{
cm.registerLanguage(codec, FIPANames.ContentLanguage.FIPA_SL0);
cm.registerOntology(FIPAManagementOntology.getInstance());
cm.registerOntology(JADEManagementOntology.getInstance());
}
public static AID createNewAgent(Agent agent, String name, String className)
{
CreateAgent ca = new CreateAgent();
ca.setAgentName(name);
ca.setClassName(className);
ca.setContainer((ContainerID) agent.here());
ACLMessage request = new ACLMessage(ACLMessage.REQUEST);
request.addReceiver(agent.getAMS());
request.setOntology(JADEManagementOntology.getInstance().getName());
request.setLanguage(FIPANames.ContentLanguage.FIPA_SL0);
request.setReplyWith("new-agent-" + agent.getName() + System.currentTimeMillis());
try
{
cm.fillContent(request, new Action(agent.getAMS(), ca));
agent.send(request);
MessageTemplate mt = MessageTemplate.MatchInReplyTo(request.getReplyWith());
ACLMessage reply = agent.blockingReceive(mt, 10000);
if(reply == null)
throw new RuntimeException("cannot create agent [" + name + "; " + className + "]");
return new AID(name, AID.ISLOCALNAME);
}
catch (Codec.CodecException e)
{
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
catch (OntologyException e)
{
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
