Serializing actor behavior in Akka 1.3

[Samira Tasharofi]

Hi all,

In Akka 1.3, I have a class named "CustomeActorRef" that extends
"ActorRef" and I use a factory to create an instance of
CustomeActorRef instead of ActorRef.

Inside CustomeActorRef, I override the method "invoke" to serialize
the actor behavior by the following code:

override def invoke(messageHandle: MessageInvocation): Unit = {
super.invoke(messageHandle)
if (this.hotswap.nonEmpty) {
var beh = this.hotswap.head
var stream = new java.io.ObjectOutputStream(new
java.io.FileOutputStream("behavior"))
stream.writeObject(beh)
}
}

But upon calling "writeObject" I am getting exception. Do you know how
I can serialize the actor behavior?

Thanks,
Samira

It depends on what the PartialFunction closes over. Impossible to
answer or implement generically.

Jonas,
My problem is solved. I needed to make the Actor class Serializable.
Thanks a lot for your reply.

Samira
