I've been trying to use the recommended factory method for defining props
as indicated here: http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.2.3/scala/actors.html I
tried it on my own class and it failed with the same type mismatch as seen
below, so I went straight to the demo code using two definitions for props:
import akka.actor.Actor
import akka.actor.Props
object DemoActor {
/**
* Create Props for an actor of this type.
* @param name The name to be passed to this actor’s constructor.
* @return a Props for creating this actor, which can then be further
configured
* (e.g. calling `.withDispatcher()` on it)
*/
def props(name: String): Props = Props(classOf[DemoActor], name)
//def props(name: String): Props = Props(new DemoActor(name))
}
class DemoActor(name: String) extends Actor {
def receive = {
case x ⇒ // some behavior
}
}
The first "props" definition fails a compile time error:
error: type mismatch;
found :
Class[Seven10.hydra.core.scala.DemoActor](classOf[Seven10.hydra.core.scala.DemoActor])
required: () => akka.actor.Actor
def props(name: String): Props = Props(classOf[DemoActor], name)
The 2nd one compiles fine, but from what I read is not
recommended.(https://www.assembla.com/spaces/akka/tickets/3764-doc--revise-advice-for-props-factory-methods#/activity/ticket:)
I'm using Netbeans with the scala plug-in. Any help is appreciated.
