Support for scheduled
self
messages in an actor. It is used by mixing in traitTimers
in Scala or extendingAbstractActorWithTimers
in Java.Timers are bound to the lifecycle of the actor that owns it, and thus are cancelled automatically when it is restarted or stopped.
TimerScheduler
is not thread-safe, i.e. it must only be used within the actor that owns it.
