def

def
receive(timeout: FiniteDuration = defaultTimeout): Any
Receive a single message from the internal
receiver
actor.Receive a single message from the internal
receiver
actor. The supplied timeout is used for cleanup purposes and its precision is subject to the resolution of the system’s scheduler (usually 100ms, but configurable).Warning: This method blocks the current thread until a message is received, thus it can introduce dead-locks (directly as well as indirectly by causing starvation of the thread pool). Do not use this method within an actor!
-
def
receive(max: Duration): Any
Receive the next message from this Inbox.
Receive the next message from this Inbox. This call will return immediately if the internal actor previously received a message, or it will block for up to the specified duration to await reception of a message. If no message is received a java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException will be raised.
