Simple Examples
Actors - Java
public interface Hello extends Actor
{
Task<String> sayHello(String greeting);
}
public class HelloActor extends AbstractActor implements Hello
{
public Task<String> sayHello(String greeting)
{
getLogger().info("Here: " + greeting);
return Task.fromValue("Hello There");
}
}
Actor.getReference(Hello.class, "0").sayHello("Meep Meep");
Actors - Scala
trait Hello extends Actor {
def sayHello(greeting: String): Task[String]
}
class HelloActor extends AbstractActor[AnyRef] with Hello {
def sayHello(greeting: String): Task[String] = {
getLogger.info("Here: " + greeting)
Task.fromValue("Hello There")
}
}
Actor.getReference(classOf[Hello], "0").sayHello("Meep Meep")
