      Generates and returns a unique actor path starting with prefix below &ldquo;/temp&rdquo;.

                                            boolean async)
        INTERNAL API: Actor factory with create-only semantics: will create an actor as described by props with the given supervisor and path (may be different in case of remote supervision). If systemService is true, deployment is bypassed (local-only). If Some(deploy) is passed in, it should be regarded as taking precedence over the nominally applicable settings, but it should be overridable from external configuration; the lookup of the latter can be suppressed by setting lookupDeploy to false.
      • addressString

        java.lang.String addressString()
        INTERNAL API

        scala.Option<Address> getExternalAddressFor​(Address addr)
        Obtain the address which is to be used within sender references when sending to the given other address or none if the other address cannot be reached from this system (i.e. no means of communication known; no attempt is made to verify actual reachability).

      • rootGuardianAt

        ActorRef rootGuardianAt​(Address address)
        Reference to the supervisor of guardian and systemGuardian at the specified address; this is exposed so that the ActorRefFactory can use it as lookupRoot, i.e. for anchoring absolute actor selections.

        Returns the actor reference representing the &ldquo;/temp&rdquo; path.

      • unregisterTempActor

        void unregisterTempActor​(ActorPath path)
        Unregister a temporary actor from the &ldquo;/temp&rdquo; path (i.e. obtained from tempPath()); do NOT pass in any other path.
