Well, I have this component based on 1 actor. It is the "flow" thing I was talking a few months ago, anyway it does take care of a process between different actors. One thing it does is to stop an other actor and wait till it is terminated. I need to make sure the other actor is really terminated because further down an actor with the same name is created - which randomly & rarely fails with "actor name [databaseServer] is not unique!"

    oh... in that case my code changes won't work. The watcher is not
    the parent of the actor.

    Will it work if the watcher is child of the same parent of the
    Terminated actor?


no, but what would a sibling do? it can't recreate the actor, it is only the parent that can create child actor with same name

    Note that this advice is correct but only when the parent actor
    receives the Terminated, i.e. it does not hold for top level
    actors where you can only watch from the "outside".

        Thanks, I am doing that now and hopefully it works (the issue
        occurred very rarely, so I have to wait and see)

            Don't create the replacement actor until you've received
            a Terminated message for the original actor.

                I get the same exception even if I set an
                AtomicBoolean to true at:

                override def postStop() = {
                    stopped.set(true)
                    super.postStop()
                }


                and then

                while (!stopped.get) {
                    Thread.sleep(1)
                  }


                Is there a way to "block" and wait till the actor stops?
                (don't worry about the block part, it is only for
                test cases)

                Thanks
