Or use
object ChartServer extends LiftActor with ListenerManager {
...
override def lowPriority = {
case ... => {
...
updateListeners()
}
}
}
and
class ChartActor extends CometActor with CometListener {
override def registerWith = ChartServer
// Only necessary if you do not want to send the message to all comet
actors
override def shouldUpdate = {
case ... => // Decide whether this instance should receive a message
}
}
