All Implemented Interfaces:

Actor, Stash

public abstract class UntypedActorWithStash
extends UntypedActor
implements Stash

Actor base class that should be extended to create an actor with a stash.

The stash enables an actor to temporarily stash away messages that can not or should not be handled using the actor's current behavior.

Example:

   public class MyActorWithStash extends UntypedActorWithStash {
     int count = 0;
     public void onReceive(Object msg) {
       if (msg instanceof String) {
         if (count < 0) {
           getSender().tell(new Integer(((String) msg).length()));
         } else if (count == 2) {
           count = -1;
           unstashAll();
         } else {
           count += 1;
           stash();
         }
       }
     }
   }
