Syntax

public sealed class UnboundedMailbox : MailboxType, IProducesMessageQueue<UnboundedMessageQueue>

Constructors

UnboundedMailbox()

Default constructor for an unbounded mailbox.

Declaration

public UnboundedMailbox()

UnboundedMailbox(Settings, Config)

A factory to create IMessageQueues for an optionally provided IActorContext.

Declaration

public UnboundedMailbox(Settings settings, Config config)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Settings	settings
Config	config

Remarks

Possibly important notice.

When implementing a custom MailboxType, be aware that there is special semantics attached to ActorOf(Props, string) in that sending the returned IActorRef may, for a short period of time, enqueue the messages first in a dummy queue. Top-level actors are created in two steps, and only after the guardian actor ahs performed that second step will all previously sent messages be transferred from the dummy queue to the real mailbox.

Implemented as an abstract class in order to enforce constructor requirements.

Methods

Create(IActorRef, ActorSystem)

A factory to create IMessageQueues for an optionally provided IActorContext.

Declaration

public override IMessageQueue Create(IActorRef owner, ActorSystem system)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IActorRef	owner
ActorSystem	system

Returns

Type	Description
IMessageQueue

Overrides

MailboxType.Create(IActorRef, ActorSystem)
