uAkka basics

Actor System Auto Creation

Every time a WAR is deployed with uakka-servlet as dependency, an ActorSystem is created named with the WAR name.

Auto Handling Messages

Every time a message is consumed, HandleActor superclass will try to find a method named "handle" that accepts as parameter the same object type as the arrived message.

Actor Auto Creation

Every time an Actor is deployed with @Service annotation it will be auto-created in the WAR auto-created actor system.

Actor Injection

Every auto created actor could be injected with the same @Service annotation in a ActorRef field. Its possible to lookup the referenced actor by its name, or by its class.

SampleActor.java

import com.texoit.uakka.api.*

public class HelloActor extends HandledActor {
 
 @Service( actor=WorldActor.class )
 ActorRef worldActor;
 
 // handle any String message
 void handle( String message ) {
   System.out.println( message );
 }
 
 // handle any SayHello instance message
 void handle( SayHello sayHello ){
   worldActor.tell( "Hello" );
 }

}

WorldActor.java

import com.texoit.uakka.api.*

// it will auto-create the actor
@Service
public class WorldActor extends HandledActor {
 
 String handle( String message ) {
   System.out.println( message );
   // auto replay
   return "World";
 }
 
}
