AskTimeoutException : Sending to terminated ref breaks promises

[Nitin]

Hi, 

When I am creating an actor I keep getting this exception. This is thrown only when I run it from command line. Through the IDE it's fine - it does not throw an AskTimeoutException.  

  

akka.pattern.AskTimeoutException: sending to terminated ref breaks promises at akka.pattern.AskSupport$class.ask(AskSupport.scala:76) at akka.pattern.package$.ask(package.scala:43) at akka.pattern.AskSupport$AskableActorRef.$qmark(AskSupport.scala:153) at akka.actor.ActorSystemImpl.actorOf(ActorSystem.scala:466) at 

Following is the code used for creating the actor.

ActorSystem actorSystem = ActorSystem.create("test");

ActorRef actor = null;

if(something ...) {

  actor = actorSystem.actorOf(new Props(new UntypedActorFactory() {

    @Override

    public Actor create() {

      return new MyActor("param1", "param2");

    }

  }), "first");

}

Any help in this regards would be appreciated. 

Regards

Nitin

This means that your actorSystem is stopped already when you try to call actorOf.

Following is the code used for creating the actor.

ActorSystem actorSystem = ActorSystem.create("test");

ActorRef actor = null;

if(something ...) {

  actor = actorSystem.actorOf(new Props(new UntypedActorFactory() {

    @Override

    public Actor create() {

      return new MyActor("param1", "param2");

    }

  }), "first");

}

Could it be that there are more errors printed? Either that, or you leave out too much in this code snippet.
