messageHandler will be called when a message is put into the Actor's
mailbox. There's nothing in any of this code that sends a Notify message to
a Notifier instance. That would look like:
val myNotifier = new Notifier
myNotifier ! Notify
Note that you have a: LAPinger.schedule(this, Notify, 500L) call that's
*inside* the Notify message handler case. This will send a Notify message
to this in 500 ms, but that scheduling will only happen as part of a Notify
message. If you change the code to:
class Notifier extends LiftActor{
val msgBroker = MessageBroker.getMessageBroker(null)
val clientID = UUIDUtils.createUUID()
val msg = new AsyncMessage()
var notificationsSent = 0;
val currentTime = new Date().getTime();
protected def messageHandler = {
case Notify =>{
msg.setDestination("notifications")
msg.setClientId(clientID)
msg.setTimestamp(currentTime)
msg.setBody(new Notification(notificationsSent, "Hello from
Scala/Lift", new Date()))
msgBroker.routeMessageToService(msg,null)
notificationsSent = 1
}
}
LAPinger.schedule(this, Notify, 500L)
}
The LAPinger call is part of the Notifier constructor (yeah, I think the
random constructors all over the class body is a mistake, but Martin
doesn't) and you'll get pinged in 500 ms.
Also, as a process note, I've been swamped with family issues over the last
3 weeks (our nanny's finally back so I don't have 1/2 of my workday devoted
to childcare), Derek's traveling with his family and Tim and Marius are
swamped at work. The questions on the list have backed up quite a bit. I'm
hoping to try to get some of the backlog of questions and tickets resolved.
Thanks,
David
