Method Detail

receiver

public ActorRef receiver()

receive

public java.lang.Object receive(scala.concurrent.duration.FiniteDuration timeout)
Receive a single message from the internal receiver actor. The supplied timeout is used for cleanup purposes and its precision is subject to the resolution of the system’s scheduler (usually 100ms, but configurable).

Warning: This method blocks the current thread until a message is received, thus it can introduce dead-locks (directly as well as indirectly by causing starvation of the thread pool). Do not use this method within an actor!


select

public <T> T select(scala.concurrent.duration.FiniteDuration timeout,
                    scala.PartialFunction<java.lang.Object,T> predicate)
Receive a single message for which the given partial function is defined and return the transformed result, using the internal receiver actor. The supplied timeout is used for cleanup purposes and its precision is subject to the resolution of the system’s scheduler (usually 100ms, but configurable).

Warning: This method blocks the current thread until a message is received, thus it can introduce dead-locks (directly as well as indirectly by causing starvation of the thread pool). Do not use this method within an actor!


finalize

public void finalize()
Overridden finalizer which will try to stop the actor once this Inbox is no longer referenced.

Overrides:
