Overview

AMCP v1.6 introduces significant improvements:

Migration Time: 1-2 hours
Difficulty: Medium
Backward Compatibility: No (breaking changes)

Breaking Changes

1. Agent Initialization API

v1.5 (Old)

public class MyAgent extends Agent {
    @Override
    public void initialize() {
        // Old API
        this.subscribe("topic", message -> {});
    }
}

v1.6 (New)

public class MyAgent extends Agent {
    @Override
    public void initialize(AgentContext context) {
        // New API with context parameter
        context.subscribe("topic", this::handleMessage);
    }
    
    private void handleMessage(Message message) {
        // Handle message
    }
}

Migration:

  1. Add AgentContext context parameter to initialize() method
  2. Use context.subscribe() instead of this.subscribe()
  3. Use method references instead of lambda functions

2. Message Handling

v1.5 (Old)

this.subscribe("events", message -> {
    String payload = message.getPayload();
    // Process
});

v1.6 (New)

context.subscribe("events", this::handleEvent);

private void handleEvent(Message message) {
    String payload = message.getPayload();
    // Process
}

Migration:

  1. Extract lambda to method
  2. Use method reference
  3. Update message handling logic

3. Configuration Properties

v1.5 (Old)

amcp.enabled=true
amcp.agent.name=my-agent
kafka.bootstrap.servers=localhost:9092

v1.6 (New)

amcp.enabled=true
amcp.agent.name=my-agent
amcp.agent.version=1.6.0
amcp.security.mtls.enabled=true
amcp.llm.enabled=true
amcp.llm.provider=openai
kafka.bootstrap.servers=localhost:9092

Migration:

  1. Add new security properties
  2. Add LLM configuration
  3. Update agent version

4. Kafka Topic Naming

v1.5 (Old)

Topic: my-agent-events
Topic: my-agent-responses

v1.6 (New)

Topic: amcp.my-agent.events
Topic: amcp.my-agent.responses

Migration:

  1. Update topic names in configuration
  2. Update topic subscriptions
  3. Update topic publications

5. LLM Integration

v1.5 (Old)

// No LLM integration

v1.6 (New)

@Inject
LLMService llmService;

String response = llmService.chat(
    messages,
    new ChatConfig()
        .model("gpt-4")
        .temperature(0.7)
);

Migration:

  1. Add LLM configuration
  2. Inject LLMService
  3. Implement LLM calls

Step-by-Step Migration

Step 1: Update Dependencies

Edit pom.xml:

<!-- Old version -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.amcp</groupId>
    <artifactId>amcp-core</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>

<!-- New version -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.amcp</groupId>
    <artifactId>amcp-core</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.0</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Add LLM support -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.amcp</groupId>
    <artifactId>amcp-llm</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.0</version>
</dependency>

Run:

mvn clean install

Step 2: Update Configuration

Edit application.properties:

# Agent Configuration
amcp.enabled=true
amcp.agent.name=my-agent
amcp.agent.version=1.6.0

# Security Configuration (NEW)
amcp.security.mtls.enabled=true
amcp.security.mtls.cert-path=/path/to/cert.pem
amcp.security.mtls.key-path=/path/to/key.pem

# LLM Configuration (NEW)
amcp.llm.enabled=true
amcp.llm.provider=openai
amcp.llm.openai.api-key=${OPENAI_API_KEY}
amcp.llm.openai.model=gpt-4

# Kafka Configuration
kafka.bootstrap.servers=localhost:9092
kafka.group.id=my-agent-group

# Topic Naming (UPDATED)
amcp.kafka.topic.prefix=amcp

Step 3: Update Agent Code

Before (v1.5)

@QuarkusMain
public class MyAgent extends Agent {
    
    @Override
    public void initialize() {
        this.subscribe("events", message -> {
            System.out.println("Received: " + message.getPayload());
        });
    }
}

After (v1.6)

@QuarkusMain
public class MyAgent extends Agent {
    
    @Inject
    LLMService llmService;
    
    @Override
    public void initialize(AgentContext context) {
        context.subscribe("amcp.my-agent.events", this::handleEvent);
    }
    
    private void handleEvent(Message message) {
        String payload = message.getPayload();
        System.out.println("Received: " + payload);
        
        // Use LLM if needed
        try {
            String response = llmService.chat(
                payload,
                new ChatConfig()
                    .model("gpt-4")
                    .temperature(0.7)
            );
            System.out.println("Response: " + response);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Step 4: Update Topic Names

// Old topic names
context.subscribe("events", this::handleEvent);
this.publish("responses", response);

// New topic names
context.subscribe("amcp.my-agent.events", this::handleEvent);
this.publish("amcp.my-agent.responses", response);

Step 5: Test Migration

# Run tests
mvn test

# Run in dev mode

            this.publish("chat-response", response);
        });
    }
}

v1.6

        context.subscribe("amcp.chat.messages", this::handleChat);
    }
    
    private void handleChat(Message message) {
        String userMessage = message.getPayload();
        
        try {
            String response = llmService.chat(
                userMessage,
                new ChatConfig()
                    .model("gpt-4")
                    .temperature(0.7)
                    .maxTokens(500)
            );
            
            this.publish("amcp.chat.responses", response);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            this.publish("amcp.chat.responses", "Error: " + e.getMessage());

    }
    
    private void handleTravelRequest(Message message) {
        String request = message.getPayload();
        
        // Decompose task
        List<Task> tasks = decomposeTasks(request);
        
        // Delegate to agents
        Map<String, String> results = new HashMap<>();
        for (Task task : tasks) {
            if (task.getType() == TaskType.WEATHER) {
                String weather = weatherAgent.getWeather(task.getLocation());
                results.put("weather", weather);
            }
        }
        
        // Aggregate and respond
        String response = llmService.chat(
            "Aggregate: " + results,
            new ChatConfig().model("gpt-4")
        );
        
        this.publish("amcp.travel.responses", response);
    }

Integration Tests

# Start Kafka
docker run -d --name kafka -p 9092:9092 confluentinc/cp-kafka:latest

# Run integration tests
mvn verify

# Stop Kafka
docker stop kafka

Troubleshooting

Issue 1: “AgentContext not found”

Error:

Error: AgentContext cannot be resolved to a type

Solution:

  1. Add amcp-core dependency
  2. Import org.amcp.agent.AgentContext
  3. Rebuild project
mvn clean install

Issue 2: “Topic not found”

Error:

Topic 'events' not found

Solution:

  1. Update topic names to use amcp. prefix
  2. Update Kafka configuration
  3. Verify Kafka is running
# Update topic names
amcp.kafka.topic.prefix=amcp

Issue 3: “LLM connection error”

Error:

Cannot connect to LLM endpoint

Solution:

  1. Verify LLM endpoint is running
  2. Check API key configuration
  3. Disable LLM if not needed
# Disable LLM
amcp.llm.enabled=false

Issue 4: “Security certificate error”

Error:

Certificate verification failed

Solution:

  1. Verify certificate paths
  2. Check certificate validity
  3. Update mTLS configuration
amcp.security.mtls.enabled=false

Rollback Plan

If migration fails, rollback to v1.5:

# Revert dependency
# In pom.xml, change version to 1.5.0

# Revert configuration
# Restore application.properties from backup

# Rebuild
mvn clean install

# Restart
quarkus dev

Performance Comparison

Before (v1.5)

Startup: 100ms
Memory: 100MB

After (v1.6)

Startup: < 100ms (same)
Memory: 50-100MB (same)
