Yes, create an Actor that's responsible for watching the other one. You could build something that hides the "make an Actor" from the developer using that pattern, i.e. it'd complete a future or something, however there needs to be an Actor involved in the watching (even if hidden away).

Developer needs to communicate with a remote actor ActorSystem is created and the an actor selection is made directly on the actor system against the remote actor Now he wants to add death watch to detect that the remote actor died, but there is no actor to which the Terminated message can be sent. Is there a way to do death watch from outside an actor or is the only way to create an actor client where you do the actor selection and the deathwatch? /Magnus -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
