The key here is the standard "Identify" message, which you send to an ActorSelection, and which returns an ActorRef if it actually exists. (Alternatively, you could send your own homebrew message to the Actor, using the ActorSelection, and let it stop itself. Remember that every Actor has a "self" member that is its own ActorRef.) So in *general*, you use ActorSelection to fetch an ActorRef, and then ActorRef to actually interact with the Actor. That isn't required, but it tends to be easiest... -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
