Hi Konrad, I am intending to learn and use scala for my project. I had found that trait signature, but was looking for an implementation. I found:
// ========= AKKA PROTECTED FUNCTIONS ========= def underlying: ActorCell = actorCell override def !(message: Any)(implicit sender: ActorRef = Actor.noSender): Unit = actorCell.sendMessage(message, sender) Which kicks control over to the cell building an envelope…still digging. This is in the LocalActorRef, MinimalActorRef, DeadLetterActorRef and EmptyLocalActorRef. I am looking for the remote actorRef, or is that just a LocalActorRef with a different context or cell? I want to create an EventualActorRef that redefines ! to return an EventualActorRef which will eventually resolve to the result of the computation, whether immediate or remote. I then wish to be able to call ! on the eventualRef and do promise pipelining. Is there a diagram/description of the semantics of ! and the structure underlying it (Cell/Context/…)? I will get there eventually… :) thanks for your help, Robert PS. how were you able to quote a code section like you did?
