persist wasn't called from a constructor. Sorry, I should have shown this function definition too.
``` def performIfActorNotLive(ar: ActorRef, f: => Unit) = { implicit val timeout = Timeout(Duration.create(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS)) try { (ar ? Identify(1)).mapTo[ActorIdentity].map { aid ⇒ if (aid.ref.isEmpty) f } } catch { case e: Throwable ⇒ } } ``` Here `f` is `persistAndUpdate`, which internally calls the `persist` method. As you can see, the persist is being called from a future callback. I felt that this might have caused the ClassCastException and refactored it to send a command to self. Do you think that's what caused it? -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
