All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

DataflowProcessorActor

public abstract class StaticDispatchActor<T>
extends AbstractLoopingActor

Offers a statically dispatched and thus slightly faster alternative to the DynamicDispatchActor class. Message handlers are discovered at compile-time.
