Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def !(message: Any)(implicit sender: ActorRef = Actor.noSender): Unit

    Sends a one-way asynchronous message.

    Sends a one-way asynchronous message. E.g. fire-and-forget semantics.

    If invoked from within an actor then the actor reference is implicitly passed on as the implicit 'sender' argument.

    This actor 'sender' reference is then available in the receiving actor in the 'sender()' member variable, if invoked from within an Actor. If not then no sender is available.

      actor ! message
    

Concrete Value Members

  1. final def compareTo(other: ActorRef): Int

    Comparison takes path and the unique id of the actor cell into account.

    Comparison takes path and the unique id of the actor cell into account.

    Implicit
    This member is added by an implicit conversion from ScalaActorRef toActorRef performed by method scala2ActorRef in akka.actor.
    Definition Classes
    ActorRef → Comparable
  2. def forward(message: Any)(implicit context: ActorContext): Unit

    Forwards the message and passes the original sender actor as the sender.

    Forwards the message and passes the original sender actor as the sender.

    Works, no matter whether originally sent with tell/'!' or ask/'?'.

    Returns the path for this actor (from this actor up to the root actor).

  4. final def tell(msg: Any, sender: ActorRef): Unit

    Sends the specified message to this ActorRef, i.e.

    Sends the specified message to this ActorRef, i.e. fire-and-forget semantics, including the sender reference if possible.

    Pass akka.actor.ActorRef noSender or null as sender if there is nobody to reply to
