  24. def resolveOne(timeout: Duration): CompletionStage[ActorRef]

    Java API for #resolveOne

    Java API for #resolveOne

    Resolve the ActorRef matching this selection. The result is returned as a CompletionStage that is completed with the ActorRef if such an actor exists. It is completed with failure ActorNotFound if no such actor exists or the identification didn't complete within the supplied timeout.

  25. def resolveOne(timeout: FiniteDuration): Future[ActorRef]

    Resolve the ActorRef matching this selection.

    Resolve the ActorRef matching this selection. The result is returned as a Future that is completed with the ActorRef if such an actor exists. It is completed with failure ActorNotFound if no such actor exists or the identification didn't complete within the supplied timeout.

    Under the hood it talks to the actor to verify its existence and acquire its ActorRef.

  26. def resolveOne()(implicit timeout: Timeout): Future[ActorRef]

    Resolve the ActorRef matching this selection.

    Resolve the ActorRef matching this selection. The result is returned as a Future that is completed with the ActorRef if such an actor exists. It is completed with failure ActorNotFound if no such actor exists or the identification didn't complete within the supplied timeout.

    Under the hood it talks to the actor to verify its existence and acquire its ActorRef.

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

    Pass ActorRef#noSender or null as sender if there is nobody to reply to

  29. def toSerializationFormat: String

    String representation of the actor selection suitable for storage and recreation.

    String representation of the actor selection suitable for storage and recreation. The output is similar to the URI fragment returned by akka.actor.ActorPath#toSerializationFormat.

    returns

    URI fragment
