import Actor._ val actor = actorOf(new MyActor) actor.start() actor ! message actor.stop()You can create and start the actor in one statement like this:
val actor = actorOf(new MyActor).start()
Creates an ActorRef out of the Actor of the specified Class.
Creates an ActorRef out of the Actor of the specified Class.
import Actor._ val actor = actorOf(classOf[MyActor]) actor.start() actor ! message actor.stop()You can create and start the actor in one statement like this:
val actor = actorOf(classOf[MyActor]).start()

Adds the listener this this registry's listener list.
Adds the listener this this registry's listener list.
The listener is started by this method if manageLifeCycleOfListeners yields true.
Execute f with each listener as argument.
Execute f with each listener as argument. ActorInitializationException is not handled.
Implicitly converts the given Future[_] to a AnyOptionAsTypedOption which offers the method as[T]

Implicitly converts the given Future[_] to a AnyOptionAsTypedOption which offers the method as[T]
to convert an Option[Any] to an Option[T].
This means that the following code is equivalent:
(actor !! "foo").as[Int] (Deprecated)
and
(actor !!! "foo").as[Int] (Recommended)
Checks if a specific listener is registered.
Checks if a specific listener is registered. ActorInitializationException leads to removal of listener if that one isShutdown.
Specifies whether listeners should be started when added and stopped when removed or not

Removes the listener this this registry's listener list.
Removes the listener this this registry's listener list.
The listener is stopped by this method if manageLifeCycleOfListeners yields true.
Use to spawn out a block of code in an event-driven actor.
Use to spawn out a block of code in an event-driven actor. Will shut actor down when the block has been executed.
NOTE: If used from within an Actor then has to be qualified with 'Actor.spawn' since there is a method 'spawn[ActorType]' in the Actor trait already. Example:
import Actor.{spawn}
spawn {
... // do stuff
}
