Method Detail

persist

public final <A> void persist(A event,
                              Procedure<A> handler)

Java API: asynchronously persists event. On successful persistence, handler is called with the persisted event. It is guaranteed that no new commands will be received by a persistent actor between a call to persist and the execution of its handler. This also holds for multiple persist calls per received command. Internally, this is achieved by stashing new commands and unstashing them when the event has been persisted and handled. The stash used for that is an internal stash which doesn't interfere with the inherited user stash.

An event handler may close over persistent actor state and modify it. The getSender() of a persisted event is the sender of the corresponding command. This means that one can reply to a command sender within an event handler.

Within an event handler, applications usually update persistent actor state using persisted event data, notify listeners and reply to command senders.

If persistence of an event fails, the persistent actor will be stopped. This can be customized by handling PersistenceFailure in receiveCommand.

Parameters:

event - event to be persisted.

handler - handler for each persisted event

persist

public final <A> void persist(java.lang.Iterable<A> events,
                              Procedure<A> handler)

Java API: asynchronously persists events in specified order. This is equivalent to calling persist[A](event: A, handler: Procedure[A]) multiple times with the same handler, except that events are persisted atomically with this method.

Parameters:

events - events to be persisted.

handler - handler for each persisted events

persistAsync

public final <A> void persistAsync(A event,
                                   Procedure<A> handler)

Java API: asynchronously persists event. On successful persistence, handler is called with the persisted event.

Unlike persist the persistent actor will continue to receive incomming commands between the call to persistAsync and executing it's handler. This asynchronous, non-stashing, version of of persist should be used when you favor throughput over the strict ordering guarantees that persist guarantees.

If persistence of an event fails, the persistent actor will be stopped. This can be customized by handling PersistenceFailure in receiveCommand.

Parameters:

event - event to be persisted

handler - handler for each persisted event

defer

public final <A> void defer(A event,
                            Procedure<A> handler)

Defer the handler execution until all pending handlers have been executed. Allows to define logic within the actor, which will respect the invocation-order-guarantee in respect to persistAsync calls. That is, if persistAsync was invoked before defer, the corresponding handlers will be invoked in the same order as they were registered in.

This call will NOT result in event being persisted, please use persist or persistAsync, if the given event should possible to replay.

If there are no pending persist handler calls, the handler will be called immediatly.

In the event of persistence failures (indicated by PersistenceFailure messages being sent to the PersistentActor, you can handle these messages, which in turn will enable the deferred handlers to run afterwards. If persistence failure messages are left unhandled, the default behavior is to stop the Actor, thus the handlers will not be run.

Parameters:

event - event to be handled in the future, when preceeding persist operations have been processes

handler - handler for the given event

defer

public final <A> void defer(java.lang.Iterable<A> events,
                            Procedure<A> handler)

Defer the handler execution until all pending handlers have been executed. Allows to define logic within the actor, which will respect the invocation-order-guarantee in respect to persistAsync calls. That is, if persistAsync was invoked before defer, the corresponding handlers will be invoked in the same order as they were registered in.

Parameters:

events - event to be handled in the future, when preceeding persist operations have been processes

handler - handler for each event

persistAsync

public final <A> void persistAsync(java.lang.Iterable<A> events,
                                   Procedure<A> handler)

Java API: asynchronously persists events in specified order. This is equivalent to calling persistAsync[A](event: A)(handler: A => Unit) multiple times with the same handler, except that events are persisted atomically with this method.

Parameters:

events - events to be persisted

handler - handler for each persisted events
