Aglets Utilities and Samples

I am including several basic aglets that
can be used for samples or testing specific
AWB features.  The main areas covered are:

 -sleep on a thread
 -message dispatching
 -DNS/Hostname lookup
 -ServerApp context dispatch 

I have not included all the features that are
needed for a fully functioning application.
For example - there are no mobility listeners -
so the samples won't handle a dispatch properly.

I also have not tested them under AWB1.0.3 -
since I have been working with AWB1.1beta.
The bulk of the testing has been done on a
Linux box- but I have also run pieces of the
code on NT as well.

Here is a basic outline of the modules:

BaseUtil.java
-basic debug routines
-do not inherit or extend any aglets classes
-can be used standalone

MDAglet.java
-basic method dispatcher that extends the portal BaseAglet
  class
-this class hides the method dispatching from the sub classes

Sleep.java
-sample aglet that listens for messages and has a basic
 polling routine on the main thread
-will accept messages on its proxy and use
 the method dispatcher to invoke them
-will print basic debug info when the dialog button is
 used from Tahiti

TestSleep.java
-sample test driver for the Sleep Aglet
-calls Sleep routines in the run thread
-builds a message to the Sleep aglet when
 the Tahiti Dialog is used

GetHost.java
-performs a simple call to get a hostname for
 the aglet 

ServerApp.java
-Updated sample from the AWB that creates a 
 context and then dispatches an aglet
 to a Tahiti context

The current directory for the samples is:

$(AGLETS_HOME)/public/aglets/portal/util

To install the samples- unpack the jar file
in that directory.  You also need the aglets
portal package and the examples shipped with
the AWB installed.

If you have any questions - please let me know.
