How to create/ supervise new Actors from an Actor

[uwe schaefer]

Hi.

jumi looks like a very interesting lib that stands out by being much more lightweight than akka. i have two little questions, though:

Wikipedia: in response to a message that it receives, an actor can make local decisions, create more actors, send more messages, and determine how to respond to the next message received.

I am wondering if creating/supervising/destroying Actors from an Actor is supported in Jumi. Imho i would need to have access to the ActorThread to achieve that, right?

Hi. Good to hear that you like Jumi Actors.

Yes, you can create and destroy actors through the ActorThread. If you
have some actors that need to do that, then pass them an ActorThread
instance. There is very limited support for supervising in the form of a
FailureHandler.
