Restart an actor killed by PosionKill

[Jiansen]

Hi all,

Just want to confirm if we can restart an actor that is killed by the PosionKill message.

Many Thanks

Yours, Jiansen

Hi Jiansen

Internally PoisonPill causes the actor to throw an exception. Whether the actor is then stopped or restarted depends on how its supervisor is configured, but restarting is definitely possible.

Cheers

Rich

Hi Rich,

you are mistaking PoisonPill for Kill here: in the case of PoisonPill there is nothing which can be done, since that makes the actor commit suicide (`context stop self`).

Regards,

Roland
