Narrow the type of this ActorRef
, which is always a safe operation.
The hierarchical path name of the referenced Actor.
The hierarchical path name of the referenced Actor. The lifecycle of the ActorRef is fully contained within the lifecycle of the akka.actor.ActorPath and more than one Actor instance can exist with the same path at different points in time, but not concurrently.
Send a message to the Actor referenced by this ActorRef using *at-most-once* messaging semantics.
Unsafe utility method for widening the type accepted by this ActorRef;
provided to avoid having to use asInstanceOf
on the full reference type,
which would unfortunately also work on non-ActorRefs.
Send a message to the Actor referenced by this ActorRef using *at-most-once* messaging semantics.
Send a message to the Actor referenced by this ActorRef using *at-most-once* messaging semantics.
An ActorRef is the identity or address of an Actor instance. It is valid only during the Actor’s lifetime and allows messages to be sent to that Actor instance. Sending a message to an Actor that has terminated before receiving the message will lead to that message being discarded; such messages are delivered to the DeadLetter channel of the akka.event.EventStream on a best effort basis (i.e. this delivery is not reliable).
