public LocalActorRef(ActorSystemImpl _system,
                     Props _props,
                     MessageDispatcher _dispatcher,

Method Detail

$bang

public void $bang(java.lang.Object message,
                  ActorRef sender)

Specified by:

$bang in interface ScalaActorRef

$bang$default$2

public ActorRef $bang$default$2(java.lang.Object message)

Specified by:

$bang$default$2 in interface ScalaActorRef

actorContext

protected ActorContext actorContext()

children

public scala.collection.immutable.Iterable<ActorRef> children()

Specified by:

children in class ActorRefWithCell

getChild

public InternalActorRef getChild(scala.collection.Iterator<java.lang.String> names)

Description copied from class: InternalActorRef

Obtain ActorRef by possibly traversing the actor tree or looking it up at some provider-specific location. This method shall return the end result, i.e. not only the next step in the look-up; this will typically involve recursive invocation. A path element of ".." signifies the parent, a trailing "" element must be disregarded. If the requested path does not exist, return Nobody.

Specified by:

getChild in class InternalActorRef

Parameters:

names - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)

getParent

public InternalActorRef getParent()

Description copied from class: InternalActorRef

Obtain parent of this ref; used by getChild for ".." paths.

Specified by:

getParent in class InternalActorRef

Returns:

(undocumented)

getSingleChild

public InternalActorRef getSingleChild(java.lang.String name)

Method for looking up a single child beneath this actor. Override in order to inject “synthetic” actor paths like “/temp”. It is racy if called from the outside.

Specified by:

getSingleChild in class ActorRefWithCell

Parameters:

name - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)

isTerminated

public boolean isTerminated()

INTERNAL API: Is the actor terminated? If this method returns true, it will never return false again, but if it returns false, you cannot be sure if it's alive still (race condition)

Specified by:

isTerminated in class InternalActorRef

Returns:

(undocumented)

newActorCell

protected ActorCell newActorCell(ActorSystemImpl system,
                                 InternalActorRef ref,
                                 Props props,
                                 MessageDispatcher dispatcher,
                                 InternalActorRef supervisor)

path

public ActorPath path()

Specified by:

path in class ActorRef

provider

public ActorRefProvider provider()

Description copied from class: InternalActorRef

Get a reference to the actor ref provider which created this ref.

Specified by:

provider in class InternalActorRef

Returns:

(undocumented)

restart

public void restart(java.lang.Throwable cause)

Specified by:

restart in class InternalActorRef

resume

public void resume(java.lang.Throwable causedByFailure)

Resumes a suspended actor.

Specified by:

resume in class InternalActorRef

Parameters:

causedByFailure - (undocumented)

sendSystemMessage

public void sendSystemMessage(SystemMessage message)

Specified by:

sendSystemMessage in class InternalActorRef

start

public void start()

Starts the actor after initialization.

Specified by:

start in class InternalActorRef

stop

public void stop()

Shuts down the actor and its message queue

Specified by:

stop in class InternalActorRef

suspend

public void suspend()

Suspends the actor so that it will not process messages until resumed. The suspend request is processed asynchronously to the caller of this method as well as to normal message sends: the only ordering guarantee is that message sends done from the same thread after calling this method will not be processed until resumed.

Specified by:

suspend in class InternalActorRef

underlying

public ActorCell underlying()

Specified by:

underlying in class ActorRefWithCell

writeReplace

protected java.lang.Object writeReplace()
                                 throws java.io.ObjectStreamException

Throws:

java.io.ObjectStreamException
