Interface IndirectActorProducer

public interface IndirectActorProducer
This interface defines a class of actor creation strategies deviating from the usual default of just reflectively instantiating theActor
subclass. It can be used to allow a dependency injection framework to determine the actual actor class and how it shall be instantiated.

Actor produce()
This factory method must produce a fresh actor instance upon each invocation. It is not permitted to return the same instance more than once.

actorClass
java.lang.Class<? extends Actor> actorClass()
This method is used byProps
to determine the type of actor which will be created. This means that an instance of thisIndirectActorProducer
will be created in order to call this method during any call toProps.actorClass()
; it should be noted that such calls may performed during actor set-up before the actual actor’s instantiation, and that the instance created for callingactorClass
is not necessarily reused later to produce the actor.
