Interface ActorRefProvider

    • Method Detail

      • actorFor

        InternalActorRef actorFor​(ActorPath path)
        Deprecated.
        use actorSelection instead of actorFor. Since 2.2.
        INTERNAL API

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

        Actor references acquired with actorFor do not always include the full information about the underlying actor identity and therefore such references do not always compare equal to references acquired with actorOf, sender, or context.self.

        Parameters:
        path - (undocumented)
        Returns:
        (undocumented)
      • actorFor

        InternalActorRef actorFor​(InternalActorRef ref,
                                  java.lang.String s)
        Deprecated.
        use actorSelection instead of actorFor. Since 2.2.
        INTERNAL API

        Create actor reference for a specified local or remote path, which will be parsed using java.net.URI. If no such actor exists, it will be (equivalent to) a dead letter reference. If s is a relative URI, resolve it relative to the given ref.

        Parameters:
        ref - (undocumented)
        s - (undocumented)
        Returns:
        (undocumented)
      • actorFor

        InternalActorRef actorFor​(InternalActorRef ref,
                                  scala.collection.Iterable<java.lang.String> p)
        Deprecated.
        use actorSelection instead of actorFor. Since 2.2.
        INTERNAL API

        Create actor reference for the specified child path starting at the given starting point. This method always returns an actor which is &ldquo;logically local&rdquo;, i.e. it cannot be used to obtain a reference to an actor which is not physically or logically attached to this actor system.

        Parameters:
        ref - (undocumented)
        p - (undocumented)
        Returns:
        (undocumented)
      • actorOf

        InternalActorRef actorOf​(ActorSystemImpl system,
                                 Props props,
                                 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.
        Parameters:
        system - (undocumented)
        props - (undocumented)
        supervisor - (undocumented)
        path - (undocumented)
        systemService - (undocumented)
        deploy - (undocumented)
        lookupDeploy - (undocumented)
        async - (undocumented)
        Returns:
        (undocumented)

        Deployer deployer()
        The Deployer associated with this ActorRefProvider
        Returns:

      • getDefaultAddress

        Address getDefaultAddress()
        Obtain the external address of the default transport.
        Returns:
        (undocumented)
      • 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).
        Parameters:

        Returns:
        (undocumented)
      • guardian

        LocalActorRef guardian()
        Reference to the supervisor used for all top-level user actors.

        (undocumented)
      • init

        void init​(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).
        Parameters:
        system - (undocumented)
      • registerTempActor

        void registerTempActor​(InternalActorRef actorRef,

        path - (undocumented)
      • resolveActorRef

        ActorRef resolveActorRef​(java.lang.String path)

      • rootGuardianAt

        ActorRef rootGuardianAt​(Address address)
