Method Detail

actorOf

akka.actor.InternalActorRef actorOf(akka.actor.ActorSystemImpl system,
                                    Props props,
                                    akka.actor.InternalActorRef supervisor,
                                    ActorPath path,
                                    boolean systemService,
                                    scala.Option<Deploy> deploy,
                                    boolean lookupDeploy,
                                    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

deadLetters

ActorRef deadLetters()

Dead letter destination for this provider.

deployer

akka.actor.Deployer deployer()

The Deployer associated with this ActorRefProvider

getDefaultAddress

Address getDefaultAddress()

Obtain the external address of the default transport.

getExternalAddressFor

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).

guardian

akka.actor.LocalActorRef guardian()

Reference to the supervisor used for all top-level user actors.

ignoreRef

ActorRef ignoreRef()

INTERNAL API

init

void init(akka.actor.ActorSystemImpl system)

INTERNAL API: Initialization of an ActorRefProvider happens in two steps: first construction of the object with settings, eventStream, etc. and then—when the ActorSystem is constructed—the second phase during which actors may be created (e.g. the guardians).

registerTempActor

void registerTempActor(akka.actor.InternalActorRef actorRef,
                       ActorPath path)

INTERNAL API: Registers an actorRef at a path returned by tempPath(); do NOT pass in any other path.

resolveActorRef

ActorRef resolveActorRef(java.lang.String path)

Create actor reference for a specified path. If no such actor exists, it will be (equivalent to) a dead letter reference.

resolveActorRef

ActorRef resolveActorRef(ActorPath path)

Create actor reference for a specified path. If no such actor exists, it will be (equivalent to) a dead letter reference.

rootGuardian

akka.actor.InternalActorRef rootGuardian()

Reference to the supervisor of guardian and systemGuardian; this is exposed so that the ActorSystemImpl can use it as lookupRoot, i.e. for anchoring absolute actor look-ups.

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.

rootPath

ActorPath rootPath()

The root path for all actors within this actor system, not including any remote address information.

serializationInformation

Serialization.Information serializationInformation()

INTERNAL API

settings

ActorSystem.Settings settings()

The Settings associated with this ActorRefProvider

systemGuardian

akka.actor.LocalActorRef systemGuardian()

Reference to the supervisor used for all top-level system actors.

systemUid

long systemUid()

tempContainer

akka.actor.InternalActorRef tempContainer()

Returns the actor reference representing the “/temp” path.

tempPath

ActorPath tempPath()

Generates and returns a unique actor path below “/temp”.

tempPath

ActorPath tempPath(java.lang.String prefix)

Generates and returns a unique actor path starting with prefix below “/temp”.

terminationFuture

scala.concurrent.Future<Terminated> terminationFuture()

This Future is completed upon termination of this ActorRefProvider, which is usually initiated by stopping the guardian via ActorSystem.stop().

unregisterTempActor

void unregisterTempActor(ActorPath path)

Unregister a temporary actor from the “/temp” path (i.e. obtained from tempPath()); do NOT pass in any other path.
