All Known Implementing Classes:

ContextualTypedActorFactory, TypedActorExtension

public interface TypedActorFactory

A TypedActorFactory is something that can created TypedActor instances.

Method Summary

ActorRefFactory	actorFactory() Underlying dependency is to be able to create normal Actors
ActorRef	getActorRefFor(java.lang.Object proxy) Retrieves the underlying ActorRef for the supplied TypedActor proxy, or null if none found
boolean	isTypedActor(java.lang.Object proxyOrNot) Returns wether the supplied AnyRef is a TypedActor proxy or not
boolean	poisonPill(java.lang.Object proxy) Sends a PoisonPill the underlying ActorRef for the supplied TypedActor proxy, if any, returns whether it could find the find the ActorRef or not
boolean	stop(java.lang.Object proxy) Stops the underlying ActorRef for the supplied TypedActor proxy, if any, returns whether it could find the find the ActorRef or not
TypedActorExtension	typedActor() Underlying dependency to a TypedActorExtension, which can either be contextual or ActorSystem "global"
<R,T extends R> R	typedActorOf(TypedProps<T> props) Creates a new TypedActor with the specified properties
<R,T extends R> R	typedActorOf(TypedProps<T> props, ActorRef actorRef) Creates a TypedActor that intercepts the calls and forwards them as TypedActor.MethodCall to the provided ActorRef.
<R,T extends R> R	typedActorOf(TypedProps<T> props, java.lang.String name) Creates a new TypedActor with the specified properties
