I am working in a modeling domain (using wireless and DE directors) where the ability to add actors during execution is important, and most of these actors are instances of custom-built CompositeActors without directors of their own. I get an exception when trying to add one - "Can only create receivers on opaque ports". This results from preinitialize() being called on the non-opaque actor.
Stepping through the code, I see that when execution begins, the directors use the deepEntityList method to ensure that preinitialize() is only called on opaque actors, but apparently if an actor is added during execution the manager calls preinitialize() regardless. Is there a way to prevent this from occurring? The custom composite actors are not defined in code, so I cannot override preinitiailze() to avoid creating port receivers; I could conceivably add directors to these actors to make them opaque but that would require considerable reworking on how the other parts of the composite actor work.
