        public static scala.concurrent.Future<java.lang.Object> ask​(ActorRef actor,
                                                            java.lang.Object message,
                                                            Timeout timeout)
        Java API for akka.pattern.ask: Sends a message asynchronously and returns a Future holding the eventual reply message; this means that the target actor needs to send the result to the sender reference provided.

        The Future will be completed with an AskTimeoutException after the given timeout has expired; this is independent from any timeout applied while awaiting a result for this future (i.e. in Await.result(..., timeout)). A typical reason for AskTimeoutException is that the recipient actor didn't send a reply.

        Warning: When using future callbacks, inside actors you need to carefully avoid closing over the containing actor&rsquo;s object, i.e. do not call methods or access mutable state on the enclosing actor from within the callback. This would break the actor encapsulation and may introduce synchronization bugs and race conditions because the callback will be scheduled concurrently to the enclosing actor. Unfortunately there is not yet a way to detect these illegal accesses at compile time.

        Recommended usage: 

        
   final Future<Object> f = Patterns.ask(worker, request, timeout);
   f.onSuccess(new Procedure<Object>() {
     public void apply(Object o) {
       nextActor.tell(new EnrichedResult(request, o));
     }
   });

        Java API for akka.pattern.ask: Sends a message asynchronously and returns a CompletionStage holding the eventual reply message; this means that the target actor needs to send the result to the sender reference provided.

        The CompletionStage will be completed with an AskTimeoutException after the given timeout has expired; this is independent from any timeout applied while awaiting a result for this future (i.e. in Await.result(..., timeout)). A typical reason for AskTimeoutException is that the recipient actor didn't send a reply.

        Use for messages whose response is known to be a StatusReply. When a StatusReply.success(T) response arrives the future is completed with the wrapped value, if a StatusReply.error(java.lang.String) arrives the future is instead failed.

        When this CompletionStage finishes, send its result to the given ActorRef or ActorSelection. Returns the original CompletionStage to allow method chaining. If the future was completed with failure it is sent as a Status.Failure to the recipient.

        Recommended usage example: 

        
   final CompletionStage<Object> f = Patterns.ask(worker, request, timeout);
   // apply some transformation (i.e. enrich with request info)
   final CompletionStage<Object> transformed = f.thenApply(result -> { ... });
   // send it on to the next operator
   Patterns.pipe(transformed, context).to(nextActor);
