Method Detail

getTarget

T getTarget()

Returns:

the target of this call. In case of actors this is *NOT* the actor reference/proxy but the real actor object.

getMethod

Method getMethod()

getArgs

Object[] getArgs()

Returns:

a direct reference to the arguments of this messages. if the array is modified, always copy before sending.

getDispatcher

DispatcherThread getDispatcher()

send

Future send()

yield

Future yield(T... targets)

exec

Future exec(T... targets)

copy

withTarget

Parameters:

newTarget -

Returns:

a shallow copy of this message with a new target set. In case an actorProxy is passed, it is automatically resolved to the underlying actor
