Wrap akka.actor.typed.Behavior in an untyped akka.actor.Props, i.e.
Wrap akka.actor.typed.Behavior in an untyped akka.actor.Props, i.e. when
spawning a typed child actor from an untyped parent actor.
This is normally not needed because you can use the extension methods
spawn
and spawnAnonymous
with an untyped ActorContext
, but it's needed
when using typed actors with an existing library/tool that provides an API that
takes an untyped akka.actor.Props parameter. Cluster Sharding is an
example of that.

Java API: Adapters between typed and untyped actors and actor systems. The underlying
ActorSystem
is the untyped akka.actor.ActorSystem which runs Akka Typed akka.actor.typed.Behavior on an emulation layer. In this system typed and untyped actors can coexist.These methods make it possible to create typed child actor from untyped parent actor, and the opposite untyped child from typed parent.
watch
is also supported in both directions.There are also converters (
toTyped
,toUntyped
) between untyped akka.actor.ActorRef and typed akka.actor.typed.ActorRef, and between untyped akka.actor.ActorSystem and typed akka.actor.typed.ActorSystem.
