receive

public Behavior receive(Event event)

Process an incoming event and return the next behavior.

The returned behavior can in addition to normal behaviors be one of the canned special objects:

• returning UNHANDLED keeps the same behavior and signals that the event was not handled (event will be logged with DEBUG level).
• returning IGNORE will ignore all future events.
• returning SAME designates to reuse the current behavior.
• returning SHUTDOWN will shutdown the DrasylNode.
