UntypedActorWithStash

abstract class UntypedActorWithStash extends UntypedActor with Stash

Actor base class that should be extended to create an actor with a stash.

The stash enables an actor to temporarily stash away messages that can not or should not be handled using the actor's current behavior.

Example:

  public class MyActorWithStash extends UntypedActorWithStash {
    int count = 0;
    public void onReceive(Object msg) {
      if (msg instanceof String) {
        if (count < 0) {
          getSender().tell(new Integer(((String) msg).length()));
        } else if (count == 2) {
          count = -1;
          unstashAll();
        } else {
          count += 1;
          stash();
        }
      }
    }
  }
