package pattern

This package is used as a collection point for usage patterns which involve actors, futures, etc.

Commonly Used Patterns With Akka

This package is used as a collection point for usage patterns which involve actors, futures, etc. but are loosely enough coupled to (multiple of) them to present them separately from the core implementation. Currently supported are:

ask: create a temporary one-off actor for receiving a reply to a message and complete a scala.concurrent.Future with it; returns said Future.
pipeTo: feed eventually computed value of a future to an akka.actor.ActorRef as a message.
pipeToSelection: feed eventually computed value of a future to an akka.actor.ActorSelection as a message.

In Scala the recommended usage is to import the pattern from the package object:

import akka.pattern.ask

ask(actor, message) // use it directly
actor ask message   // use it by implicit conversion

For Java the patterns are available as static methods of the akka.pattern.Patterns class:

import static akka.pattern.Patterns.ask;

ask(actor, message);

trait Bootable extends AnyRef
To use the microkernel at least one 'boot class' needs to be specified.
To use the microkernel at least one 'boot class' needs to be specified. A boot class implements this interface (akka.kernel.Bootable) and must have an empty default constructor.
ActorSystems can be created within the boot class.
An example of a simple boot class:
```
class BootApp extends Bootable {
  val system = ActorSystem("app")

  def startup = {
    system.actorOf(Props[FirstActor]) ! FirstMessage
  }

  def shutdown = {
    system.terminate()
  }
}
```
Boot classes are specified as main arguments to the microkernel.
For example, using the akka script an application can be started with the following at the command line:
```
bin/akka org.app.BootApp
```
