The object oriented programming has supported the construction of intelligent agents, but it hasnot included complex logical relationships between mental attitudes. The logic programming has madepossible the representation and inference of relationships between mental attitudes such as intentions,objectives and believes, but it has not take into account the use of capabilities to make decisions andreact.This paper presents two alternatives to integrate object oriented programming with logic program-ming which make it possible the use in intelligent agents. Object oriented languages Java and Smalltalkhave been used. These integrative choices are exposed taking into account these two examples to uselanguage connections. They show the experiences achieved by each of them.
