使用Actor可以不断地接收消息,先看如下代码:

package cn.itcast.actor

import scala.actors.Actor

 
class MyActor extends Actor {

  override def act(): Unit = {
    while (true) {
      receive {
        case "start" => {
          println("starting ...")
          Thread.sleep(5000)
          println("started")
        }
        case "stop" => {
          println("stopping ...")
          Thread.sleep(5000)
          println("stopped ...")
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

object MyActor {
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    val actor = new MyActor
    actor.start()
    actor ! "start"
    actor ! "stop"
    println("消息发送完成!")
  }
}

说明: 在act()方法中加入了while (true) 循环,就可以不停的接收消息

注意:发送start消息和stop的消息是异步的,但是Actor接收到消息执行的过程是同步的按顺序执行。
