Constructor Summary

InternalActor()
Just like DynamicDispatchActor, except that the actual method dispatch is static through the closure passed to the initialize() method.

void	onMessage(java.lang.Object[] msg) Handles incoming messages
(package private) DataflowVariable<java.lang.Object>	submit(java.lang.Object... args) A DataflowVariable is passed to the actor, which will bind it once the result is known.
(package private) java.lang.Object	submitAndWait(java.lang.Object... args) A DataflowVariable is passed to the actor, which will bind it once the result is known.

public InternalActor()

Just like DynamicDispatchActor, except that the actual method dispatch is static through the closure passed to the initialize() method.

Method Detail

submit

DataflowVariable<java.lang.Object> submit(java.lang.Object... args)

A DataflowVariable is passed to the actor, which will bind it once the result is known.

Parameters:

args - The method parameters

Returns:

A Promise for the real result

submitAndWait

java.lang.Object submitAndWait(java.lang.Object... args)
                         throws java.lang.Throwable

A DataflowVariable is passed to the actor, which will bind it once the result is known. The method blocks waiting for the Promise to hold a value. The value is then returned back to the caller.

Parameters:

args - The method parameters

Returns:

The result of the internal method as returned when run in the internal actor's context

Throws:

java.lang.InterruptedException - If the current thread gets interrupted while waiting for the internal actor to respond

java.lang.Throwable - If the target method invoked asynchronously throws an exception.

onMessage

public void onMessage(java.lang.Object[] msg)

Handles incoming messages

Parameters:

msg - The message representing the requested method call

handleCurrentMessage

private static java.lang.Object handleCurrentMessage(java.lang.Object msg)

create

public static InternalActor create(java.lang.Object groupId)
