I was working on Java Agent Development Framework, which is the language of creating mobile agents. I was wondering that the code that I will write in JADE, will work over HTTP or below the HTTP? As I am opaque to the inside working and execution of JADE I couldn't get the answer directly...Thanks in advance :-)

I think most people here are talking about Jade the nodejs templating language :-) http://jade-lang.com/ – Justin Beckwith Nov 25 '11 at 09:42

JADE (or more generally FIPA standard) introduces the concept of platform consisting of one or more containers on which agents live. Each container is made up by a separate JVM. JADE distinguishes between two types of communication, depending on where the talking agents live:
- intra-platform communication, when messages are exchanged between agents living on different containers of the same plaform
- inter-platform communication, when messages are exchanged between agents living in different platforms
Depending on where the talking agents live, different protocol will be used.
For intra-platform communication one of the following transport protocols will be used:
- RMI (default), going directly over TCP/IP
- proprietary protocol based on TCP sockets (used in J2ME environment in JADE LEAP platform)
For inter-platform communication one of the following transport protocols will be used:
- IIOP (Sun or ORBacus implementation)
- HTTP and HTTPS
- JMS
- Jabber XMPP
Since the question is specific to JADE platform, I strongly encourage you to use JADE mailing list: http://jade.tilab.com/newuser.php
