What are createReceive and createReceiveRecover methods for in AbstractPersistenceActor?

I was going through a TypeSafe downloaded AkkaJava.pdf file detailing based on 2.3.2 API. In chapter 4.4 Persistence (Java with Lambda Support), it lists the receiveRecover() and receiveCommand() are the methods that need to be overridden to process messages.

Now I have set my IDE to use 2.5.2 version of AKKA and it has the createReceive() and createReceiveRecover() as the methods that need to be overridden from the abstract class I extend from.

What are these methods for? The names do not seem intuitive for me. Am I looking at wrong methods for processing messages?

Solution

  • ok, it has been explained in Akka Docs

    They replace the old methods that are up to 2.4 version.
