akka.actor.ActorContext is the Scala API. getContext
returns a
akka.actor.UntypedActorContext, which is the Java API of the actor
context.

Overridden callback.
Overridden callback. Prepends all messages in the stash to the mailbox and clears the stash. Must be called when overriding this method, otherwise stashed messages won't be propagated to DeadLetters when actor stops.
Overridden callback.
Overridden callback. Prepends all messages in the stash to the mailbox, clears the stash, stops all children and invokes the postStop() callback.
User overridable callback.
User overridable callback.
Is called when an Actor is started. Actor are automatically started asynchronously when created. Empty default implementation.
This defines the initial actor behavior, it must return a partial function with the actor logic.

User overridable callback.
Is called when a message isn't handled by the current behavior of the actor by default it fails with either a akka.actor.DeathPactException (in case of an unhandled akka.actor.Terminated message) or publishes an akka.actor.UnhandledMessage to the actor's system's akka.event.EventStream
Prepends all messages in the stash to the mailbox, and then clears the stash.
Prepends all messages in the stash to the mailbox, and then clears the stash.
Messages from the stash are enqueued to the mailbox until the capacity of the
mailbox (if any) has been reached. In case a bounded mailbox overflows, a
MessageQueueAppendFailedException
is thrown.
The stash is guaranteed to be empty after calling unstashAll()
.
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.
