Class UntypedActorWithStash

Actor base class that should be extended to create an actor with a stash.

The stash enables an actor to temporarily stash away messages that can not or should not be handled using the actor's current behavior.

Note that the subclasses of UntypedActorWithStash by default request a Deque based mailbox since this class implements the IRequiresMessageQueue<T> marker interface.

You can override the default mailbox provided when IDequeBasedMessageQueueSemantics are requested via config:

akka.actor.mailbox.requirements {
    "Akka.Dispatch.IDequeBasedMessageQueueSemantics" = your-custom-mailbox
}

Alternatively, you can add your own requirement marker to the actor and configure a mailbox type to be used for your marker.

For a Stash based actor that enforces unbounded deques see UntypedActorWithUnboundedStash. There is also an unrestricted version UntypedActorWithUnrestrictedStash that does not enforce the mailbox type.
