Hi, Christopher,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the reminder. Do you mean they have to be exact the same?<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
Yes, they should be the same, for example:<br>
<br>
fromEmail = new PortParameter(this, "fromEmail");<br>
...<br>
<br>
public PortParameter fromEmail;<br>
<br>

By convention, ports are public members of actors. They represent a set of input and output channels<br>
through which tokens may pass to other ports. Figure 5.1 shows a single port portName that is an<br>
instance of TypedIOPort, declared in the line<br>
public TypedIOPort portName;<br>
Most ports in actors are instances of TypedIOPort, unless they require domain-specific services, in<br>
which case they may be instances of a domain-specific subclass, such as DEIOPort. The port is actually<br>
created in the constructor by the line<br>
portName = new TypedIOPort(this, "portName", true, false);<br>
The first argument to the constructor is the container of the port, this actor. The second is the name of<br>
the port, which can be any string, but by convention, is the same as the name of the public member. If<br>
the port name is not the same as the public member, then there will be problems with cloning, which<br>
depends on this naming convention. To present a different name to the user, call the setDisplayName()<br>
method. Note that calling setDisplayName() is optional. The third argument specifies whether the port<br>
is an input (it is in this example), and the fourth argument specifies whether it is an output (it is not in<br>
this example). There is no difficulty with having a port that is both an input and an output, but it is<br>
rarely useful to have one that is neither.<br>

"Cloning", do you mean the regular java cloning?<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
Yes, cloning happens with actor oriented classes. It may happen at other times.<br>

Hi Gongjing,<br>
<br>
BTW - If the parameter names do not match name of the variable,<br>
then cloning the actor will fail.<br>
<br>
Cloning occurs when Actor Oriented Classes are used.<br>
<br>
Also, there is newish mail actor in the Ptolemy II tree at<br>
ptolemy.actor.lib.mail.SendMail.java<br>
To try out the actor, use<br>
Tools -> Instantiate Component<br>
