Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def actorOf(props: Props, name: String): ActorRef

    Create new actor as child of this context with the given name, which must not be null, empty or start with “$”.

    Create new actor as child of this context with the given name, which must not be null, empty or start with “$”. If the given name is already in use, an InvalidActorNameException is thrown.

    See akka.actor.Props for details on how to obtain a Props object.

    Exceptions thrown

    UnsupportedOperationException if invoked on an ActorSystem that uses a custom user guardian

    akka.ConfigurationException if deployment, dispatcher or mailbox configuration is wrong

    akka.actor.InvalidActorNameException if the given name is invalid or already in use

  2. abstract def actorOf(props: Props): ActorRef

    Create new actor as child of this context and give it an automatically generated name (currently similar to base64-encoded integer count, reversed and with “$” prepended, may change in the future).

  3. implicit abstract def dispatcher: ExecutionContextExecutor

    Returns the default MessageDispatcher associated with this ActorRefFactory

    Stop the actor pointed to by the given akka.actor.ActorRef; this is an asynchronous operation, i.e. involves a message send. If this method is applied to the self reference from inside an Actor then that Actor is guaranteed to not process any further messages after this call; please note that the processing of the current message will continue, this method does not immediately terminate this actor.
