知识库--Sending and Receiving Messages By Akka Using Java(139)_西方的sending actor和receiving actor-CSDN博客

本文介绍了使用Akka框架实现Actor模型的基本方法，包括创建Actor、发送接收消息等核心概念，并对比了replyUnsafe与replySafe两种不同消息响应方式的特点。通过示例代码展示了如何在Actor之间进行有效通信。

replyUnsafe（）method 回应消息，不检查发送者

import akka.actor.UntypedActor;
import akka.actor.ActorRef;
import akka.actor.Actors;
import akka.actor.ActorTimeoutException;

public class FortuneTeller extends UntypedActor {
  public void onReceive(final Object name) {
      getContext().replyUnsafe(String.format("%s you'll rock", name));
  }  

  public static void main(final String[] args) {
    final ActorRef fortuneTeller = 
      Actors.actorOf(FortuneTeller.class).start();
    try {
      final Object response = fortuneTeller.sendRequestReply("Joe");
      System.out.println(response);
    } catch(ActorTimeoutException ex) {
      System.out.println("Never got a response before timeout");      
    } finally {
      fortuneTeller.stop();      
    }
  }
}

结果

Joe you'll rock

replySafe（）method 回应消息，检查发送者

import akka.actor.UntypedActor;
import akka.actor.Actors;
import akka.actor.ActorRef;
import akka.actor.ActorTimeoutException;

public class FortuneTeller extends UntypedActor {
  public void onReceive(final Object name) {
    if(getContext().replySafe(String.format("%s you'll rock", name)))
      System.out.println("Message sent for " + name);
    else
      System.out.println("Sender not found for " + name);
  }  

  public static void main(final String[] args) {
    final ActorRef fortuneTeller = 
      Actors.actorOf(FortuneTeller.class).start();

    try {
      fortuneTeller.sendOneWay("Bill");
      final Object response = fortuneTeller.sendRequestReply("Joe");
      System.out.println(response);
    } catch(ActorTimeoutException ex) {
      System.out.println("Never got a response before timeout");      
    } finally {
      fortuneTeller.stop();      
    }
  }
}

结果

Sender not found for Bill
Message sent for Joe
Joe you'll rock

分析
The call to sendRequestReply() blocks while waiting for a response, but the call to sendOneWay() is nonblocking and yields no response. If we want to receive a response but don’t want to wait for it, we can use the more elaborate method sendRequestReplyFuture(), which will return a Future object. We can go
about doing work until we want the response, at which time we can either block or query the future object to see whether a response is available. Similarly, on the side of the actor, we can get the senderFuture from the context reference and communicate through that right away or later when we have a response ready.

It is quite convenient that Akka passes the sender references under the covers when it sends a message. This eliminates the need to pass the sender explicitly as part of the message and removes so much noise and effort in the code.
