36  * <P>
37  * This agent example class shows the visibility rules between classes of
38  * agents loaded with different classloaders and, more important, with different codebases.
39  * These rules typically depends on the class loader adapter (factory) used.
40  * By default, SMI uses the SMIClassLoader which comes with the following principles:
41  * <UL>
42  * <LI>each agent has its own SMIClassLoader instance to get locally unresolved classes
43  * <LI>however, classloaders with the same codebase share the same class objects
44  * </UL>
45  * As a result, agents with the same codebase may use/invoke each other's classes/instances,
46  * while agents of different codebases will get an exception trying to do so.
47  * <P>
48  * The easiest way to use this example is to use GUI-enabled agencies. Create, suspend/resume
49  * or move PingPong agents with a variety of codebases, to see how they can interact with each
50  * other in an agency (have a look at the messages printed in the associated terminal).
