 | IActorRefFactory Interface |
Namespace: Akka.Actor
Assembly: Akka (in Akka.dll) Version: 1.2.3.129 (1.2.3.129)
SyntaxThe IActorRefFactory type exposes the following members.
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | ActorOf |
Create new actor as child of this context with the given name, which must
not start with "$". If the given name is already in use,
and InvalidActorNameException is thrown.
See Props for details on how to obtain a Props object.
|
| ActorSelection(String) |
Construct an ActorSelection from the given path, which is
parsed for wildcards (these are replaced by regular expressions
internally). No attempt is made to verify the existence of any part of
the supplied path, it is recommended to send a message and gather the
replies in order to resolve the matching set of actors.
|
| ActorSelection(ActorPath) |
Construct an ActorSelection from the given path, which is
parsed for wildcards (these are replaced by regular expressions
internally). No attempt is made to verify the existence of any part of
the supplied path, it is recommended to send a message and gather the
replies in order to resolve the matching set of actors.

| ActorSelection |
Construct an ActorSelection from the given string representing a path
relative to the given target. This operation has to create all the
matching magic, so it is preferable to cache its result if the
intention is to send messages frequently.

| Materializer | Creates a ActorMaterializer which will execute every step of a transformation pipeline within its own ActorBase. The required IActorRefFactory (which can be either an ActorSystem or an IActorContext) will be used to create one actor that in turn creates actors for the transformation steps. The materializer's ActorMaterializerSettings will be obtained from the configuration of the context's underlying ActorSystem. The namePrefix is used as the first part of the names of the actors running the processing steps. The default namePrefix is "flow". The actor names are built up of namePrefix-flowNumber-flowStepNumber-stepName. |
