abstract class Behavior[T] extends AnyRef

The behavior of an actor defines how it reacts to the messages that it receives. The message may either be of the type that the Actor declares and which is part of the ActorRef signature, or it may be a system Signal that expresses a lifecycle event of either this actor or one of its child actors.

Behaviors can be formulated in a number of different ways, either by creating a derived class or by employing factory methods like the ones in the ScalaDSL$ object.

Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def management(ctx: ActorContext[T], msg: Signal): Behavior[T]

    Process an incoming Signal and return the next behavior.

    Process an incoming Signal and return the next behavior. This means that all lifecycle hooks, ReceiveTimeout, Terminated and Failed messages can initiate a behavior change.

    The returned behavior can in addition to normal behaviors be one of the canned special objects:

    * returning Stopped will terminate this Behavior * returning Same designates to reuse the current Behavior * returning Unhandled keeps the same Behavior and signals that the message was not yet handled

    Code calling this method should use Behavior$ canonicalize to replace the special objects with real Behaviors.

  2. abstract def message(ctx: ActorContext[T], msg: T): Behavior[T]

    Process an incoming message and return the next behavior.

    Process an incoming message and return the next behavior.

    The returned behavior can in addition to normal behaviors be one of the canned special objects:

    * returning Stopped will terminate this Behavior * returning Same designates to reuse the current Behavior * returning Unhandled keeps the same Behavior and signals that the message was not yet handled

    Narrow the type of this Behavior, which is always a safe operation. This method is necessary to implement the contravariant nature of Behavior (which cannot be expressed directly due to type inference problems).
