 Testing Actor Systems (Java)
 ##############################
 
-Due to the conciseness of test DSLs available for Scala, it may be a good idea
-to write the test suite in that language even if the main project is written in
-Java. If that is not desirable, you can also use :class:`TestKit` and friends
-from Java, albeit with more verbose syntax Munish Gupta has `published a nice
-post <http://www.akkaessentials.in/2012/05/using-testkit-with-java.html>`_
-showing several patterns you may find useful, and for reference documentation

+As with any piece of software, automated tests are a very important part of the
+development cycle. The actor model presents a different view on how units of
+code are delimited and how they interact, which has an influence on how to
+perform tests.
+
+.. note::
+
+  Due to the conciseness of test DSLs available for Scala (`ScalaTest`_,
+  `Specs2`_, `ScalaCheck`_), it may be a good idea to write the test suite in
+  that language even if the main project is written in Java. If that is not
+  desirable, you can also use :class:`TestKit` and friends from Java, albeit
+  with more verbose syntax which is covered below. Munish Gupta has `published

+
+Akka comes with a dedicated module :mod:`akka-testkit` for supporting tests at
+different levels, which fall into two clearly distinct categories:
+
+ - Testing isolated pieces of code without involving the actor model, meaning
+   without multiple threads; this implies completely deterministic behavior
+   concerning the ordering of events and no concurrency concerns and will be
+   called **Unit Testing** in the following.
+ - Testing (multiple) encapsulated actors including multi-threaded scheduling;
+   this implies non-deterministic order of events but shielding from
+   concurrency concerns by the actor model and will be called **Integration
+   Testing** in the following.
+
+There are of course variations on the granularity of tests in both categories,
+where unit testing reaches down to white-box tests and integration testing can
+encompass functional tests of complete actor networks. The important
+distinction lies in whether concurrency concerns are part of the test or not.
+The tools offered are described in detail in the following sections.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Be sure to add the module :mod:`akka-testkit` to your dependencies.
+
+Unit Testing with :class:`TestActorRef`
+=======================================
+
+Testing the business logic inside :class:`Actor` classes can be divided into
+two parts: first, each atomic operation must work in isolation, then sequences
+of incoming events must be processed correctly, even in the presence of some
+possible variability in the ordering of events. The former is the primary use
+case for single-threaded unit testing, while the latter can only be verified in
+integration tests.
+
+Normally, the :class:`ActorRef` shields the underlying :class:`Actor` instance
+from the outside, the only communications channel is the actor's mailbox. This
+restriction is an impediment to unit testing, which led to the inception of the
+:class:`TestActorRef`. This special type of reference is designed specifically
+for test purposes and allows access to the actor in two ways: either by
+obtaining a reference to the underlying actor instance, or by invoking or
+querying the actor's behaviour (:meth:`receive`). Each one warrants its own
+section below.
+
+Obtaining a Reference to an :class:`Actor`
+------------------------------------------
+
+Having access to the actual :class:`Actor` object allows application of all
+traditional unit testing techniques on the contained methods. Obtaining a
+reference is done like this:
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-actor-ref
+
+Since :class:`TestActorRef` is generic in the actor type it returns the
+underlying actor with its proper static type. From this point on you may bring
+any unit testing tool to bear on your actor as usual.
+
+Testing the Actor's Behavior
+----------------------------
+
+When the dispatcher invokes the processing behavior of an actor on a message,
+it actually calls :meth:`apply` on the current behavior registered for the
+actor. This starts out with the return value of the declared :meth:`receive`
+method, but it may also be changed using :meth:`become` and :meth:`unbecome` in
+response to external messages. All of this contributes to the overall actor
+behavior and it does not lend itself to easy testing on the :class:`Actor`
+itself. Therefore the :class:`TestActorRef` offers a different mode of
+operation to complement the :class:`Actor` testing: it supports all operations
+also valid on normal :class:`ActorRef`. Messages sent to the actor are
+processed synchronously on the current thread and answers may be sent back as
+usual. This trick is made possible by the :class:`CallingThreadDispatcher`
+described below (see `CallingThreadDispatcher`_); this dispatcher is set
+implicitly for any actor instantiated into a :class:`TestActorRef`.
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-behavior
+
+As the :class:`TestActorRef` is a subclass of :class:`LocalActorRef` with a few
+special extras, also aspects like supervision and restarting work properly, but
+beware that execution is only strictly synchronous as long as all actors
+involved use the :class:`CallingThreadDispatcher`. As soon as you add elements
+which include more sophisticated scheduling you leave the realm of unit testing
+as you then need to think about asynchronicity again (in most cases the problem
+will be to wait until the desired effect had a chance to happen).
+
+One more special aspect which is overridden for single-threaded tests is the
+:meth:`receiveTimeout`, as including that would entail asynchronous queuing of
+:obj:`ReceiveTimeout` messages, violating the synchronous contract.
+
+.. note::
+
+   To summarize: :class:`TestActorRef` overwrites two fields: it sets the
+   dispatcher to :obj:`CallingThreadDispatcher.global` and it sets the
+   :obj:`receiveTimeout` to None.
+
+The Way In-Between: Expecting Exceptions
+----------------------------------------
+
+If you want to test the actor behavior, including hotswapping, but without
+involving a dispatcher and without having the :class:`TestActorRef` swallow
+any thrown exceptions, then there is another mode available for you: just use
+the :meth:`receive` method :class:`TestActorRef`, which will be forwarded to the
+underlying actor:
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-expecting-exceptions
+
+Use Cases
+---------
+
+You may of course mix and match both modi operandi of :class:`TestActorRef` as
+suits your test needs:
+
+ - one common use case is setting up the actor into a specific internal state
+   before sending the test message
+ - another is to verify correct internal state transitions after having sent
+   the test message
+
+Feel free to experiment with the possibilities, and if you find useful
+patterns, don't hesitate to let the Akka forums know about them! Who knows,
+common operations might even be worked into nice DSLs.
+
+Integration Testing with :class:`JavaTestKit`
+=============================================
+
+When you are reasonably sure that your actor's business logic is correct, the
+next step is verifying that it works correctly within its intended environment.
+The definition of the environment depends of course very much on the problem at
+hand and the level at which you intend to test, ranging for
+functional/integration tests to full system tests. The minimal setup consists
+of the test procedure, which provides the desired stimuli, the actor under
+test, and an actor receiving replies.  Bigger systems replace the actor under
+test with a network of actors, apply stimuli at varying injection points and
+arrange results to be sent from different emission points, but the basic
+principle stays the same in that a single procedure drives the test.
+
+The :class:`JavaTestKit` class contains a collection of tools which makes this
+common task easy.
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitSampleTest.java#fullsample
+
+The :class:`JavaTestKit` contains an actor named :obj:`testActor` which is the
+entry point for messages to be examined with the various ``expectMsg...``
+assertions detailed below. The test actor’s reference is obtained using the
+:meth:`getRef()` method as demonstrated above.  The :obj:`testActor` may also
+be passed to other actors as usual, usually subscribing it as notification
+listener. There is a whole set of examination methods, e.g. receiving all
+consecutive messages matching certain criteria, receiving a whole sequence of
+fixed messages or classes, receiving nothing for some time, etc.
+
+The ActorSystem passed in to the constructor of JavaTestKit is accessible via the
+:meth:`getSystem()` method.
+
+.. note::
+
+  Remember to shut down the actor system after the test is finished (also in
+  case of failure) so that all actors—including the test actor—are stopped.
+
+Built-In Assertions
+-------------------
+
+The above mentioned :meth:`expectMsgEquals` is not the only method for
+formulating assertions concerning received messages, the full set is this:
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-expect
+
+In these examples, the maximum durations you will find mentioned below are left
+out, in which case they use the default value from configuration item
+``akka.test.single-expect-default`` which itself defaults to 3 seconds (or they
+obey the innermost enclosing :class:`Within` as detailed :ref:`below
+<JavaTestKit.within>`). The full signatures are:
+
+  * :meth:`public <T> T expectMsgEquals(Duration max, T msg)`
+
+    The given message object must be received within the specified time; the
+    object will be returned.
+
+  * :meth:`public Object expectMsgAnyOf(Duration max, Object... msg)`
+
+    An object must be received within the given time, and it must be equal
+    (compared with ``equals()``) to at least one of the passed reference
+    objects; the received object will be returned.
+
+  * :meth:`public Object[] expectMsgAllOf(Duration max, Object... msg)`
+
+    A number of objects matching the size of the supplied object array must be
+    received within the given time, and for each of the given objects there
+    must exist at least one among the received ones which equals it (compared
+    with ``equals()``). The full sequence of received objects is returned in
+    the order received.
+
+  * :meth:`public <T> T expectMsgClass(Duration max, Class<T> c)`
+
+    An object which is an instance of the given :class:`Class` must be received
+    within the allotted time frame; the object will be returned. Note that this
+    does a conformance check, if you need the class to be equal you need to
+    verify that afterwards.
+
+  * :meth:`public <T> T expectMsgAnyClassOf(Duration max, Class<? extends T>... c)`
+
+    An object must be received within the given time, and it must be an
+    instance of at least one of the supplied :class:`Class` objects; the
+    received object will be returned. Note that this does a conformance check,
+    if you need the class to be equal you need to verify that afterwards.
+
+    .. note::
+
+      Because of a limitation in Java’s type system it may be necessary to add
+      ``@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")`` when using this method.
+
+  * :meth:`public void expectNoMsg(Duration max)`
+
+    No message must be received within the given time. This also fails if a
+    message has been received before calling this method which has not been
+    removed from the queue using one of the other methods.
+
+For cases which require more refined conditions there are constructs which take
+code blocks:
+
+  * **ExpectMsg<T>**
+
+    .. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-expectmsg
+
+    The :meth:`match(Object in)` method will be evaluated once a message has
+    been received within the allotted time (which may be given as constructor
+    argument). If it throws ``noMatch()`` (where it is sufficient to call that
+    method; the ``throw`` keyword is only needed in cases where the compiler
+    would otherwise complain about wrong return types—Java is lacking Scala’s
+    notion of a type which signifies “will not ever return normally”), then the
+    expectation fails with an :class:`AssertionError`, otherwise the matched
+    and possibly transformed object is stored for retrieval using the
+    :meth:`get()` method.
+
+  * **ReceiveWhile<T>**
+
+    .. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-receivewhile
+
+    This construct works like ExpectMsg, but it continually collects messages
+    as long as they match the criteria, and it does not fail when a
+    non-matching one is encountered. Collecting messages also ends when the
+    time is up, when too much time passes between messages or when enough
+    messages have been received.
+
+    .. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-receivewhile-full
+       :exclude: match-elided
+
+    The need to specify the ``String`` result type twice results from the need
+    to create a correctly typed array and Java’s inability to infer the class’s
+    type argument.
+
+  * **AwaitCond**
+
+    .. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-awaitCond
+
+    This general construct is not connected with the test kit’s message
+    reception, the embedded condition can compute the boolean result from
+    anything in scope.
+
+There are also cases where not all messages sent to the test kit are actually
+relevant to the test, but removing them would mean altering the actors under
+test. For this purpose it is possible to ignore certain messages:
+
+  * **IgnoreMsg**
+
+    .. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-ignoreMsg
+
+Expecting Log Messages
+----------------------
+
+Since an integration test does not allow to the internal processing of the
+participating actors, verifying expected exceptions cannot be done directly.
+Instead, use the logging system for this purpose: replacing the normal event
+handler with the :class:`TestEventListener` and using an :class:`EventFilter`
+allows assertions on log messages, including those which are generated by
+exceptions:
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-event-filter
+
+If a number of occurrences is specific—as demonstrated above—then ``exec()``
+will block until that number of matching messages have been received or the
+timeout configured in ``akka.test.filter-leeway`` is used up (time starts
+counting after the ``run()`` method returns). In case of a timeout the test
+fails.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Be sure to exchange the default event handler with the
+   :class:`TestEventListener` in your ``application.conf`` to enable this
+   function::
+
+     akka.event-handlers = [akka.testkit.TestEventListener]
+
+.. _JavaTestKit.within:
+
+Timing Assertions
+-----------------
+
+Another important part of functional testing concerns timing: certain events
+must not happen immediately (like a timer), others need to happen before a
+deadline. Therefore, all examination methods accept an upper time limit within
+the positive or negative result must be obtained. Lower time limits need to be
+checked external to the examination, which is facilitated by a new construct
+for managing time constraints:
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-within
+
+The block in :meth:`Within.run()` must complete after a :ref:`Duration` which
+is between :obj:`min` and :obj:`max`, where the former defaults to zero. The
+deadline calculated by adding the :obj:`max` parameter to the block's start
+time is implicitly available within the block to all examination methods, if
+you do not specify it, it is inherited from the innermost enclosing
+:meth:`within` block.
+
+It should be noted that if the last message-receiving assertion of the block is
+:meth:`expectNoMsg` or :meth:`receiveWhile`, the final check of the
+:meth:`within` is skipped in order to avoid false positives due to wake-up
+latencies. This means that while individual contained assertions still use the
+maximum time bound, the overall block may take arbitrarily longer in this case.
+
+.. note::
+
+   All times are measured using ``System.nanoTime``, meaning that they describe
+   wall time, not CPU time or system time.
+
+Accounting for Slow Test Systems
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The tight timeouts you use during testing on your lightning-fast notebook will
+invariably lead to spurious test failures on the heavily loaded Jenkins server
+(or similar). To account for this situation, all maximum durations are
+internally scaled by a factor taken from the :ref:`configuration`,
+``akka.test.timefactor``, which defaults to 1.
+
+You can scale other durations with the same factor by using the implicit conversion
+in ``akka.testkit`` package object to add dilated function to :class:`Duration`.
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#duration-dilation
+
+Using Multiple Probe Actors
+---------------------------
+
+When the actors under test are supposed to send various messages to different
+destinations, it may be difficult distinguishing the message streams arriving
+at the :obj:`testActor` when using the :class:`JavaTestKit` as shown until now.
+Another approach is to use it for creation of simple probe actors to be
+inserted in the message flows. The functionality is best explained using a
+small example:
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-probe
+
+This simple test verifies an equally simple Forwarder actor by injecting a
+probe as the forwarder’s target.  Another example would be two actors A and B
+which collaborate by A sending messages to B. In order to verify this message
+flow, a :class:`TestProbe` could be inserted as target of A, using the
+forwarding capabilities or auto-pilot described below to include a real B in
+the test setup.
+
+Probes may also be equipped with custom assertions to make your test code even
+more concise and clear:
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java
+   :include: test-special-probe
+
+You have complete flexibility here in mixing and matching the
+:class:`JavaTestKit` facilities with your own checks and choosing an intuitive
+name for it. In real life your code will probably be a bit more complicated
+than the example given above; just use the power!
+
+Replying to Messages Received by Probes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The probe stores the sender of the last dequeued message (i.e. after its
+``expectMsg*`` reception), which may be retrieved using the
+:meth:`getLastSender()` method. This information can also implicitly be used
+for having the probe reply to the last received message:
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-probe-reply
+
+Forwarding Messages Received by Probes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The probe can also forward a received message (i.e. after its ``expectMsg*``
+reception), retaining the original sender:
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-probe-forward
+
+Auto-Pilot
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Receiving messages in a queue for later inspection is nice, but in order to
+keep a test running and verify traces later you can also install an
+:class:`AutoPilot` in the participating test probes (actually in any
+:class:`TestKit`) which is invoked before enqueueing to the inspection queue.
+This code can be used to forward messages, e.g. in a chain ``A --> Probe -->
+B``, as long as a certain protocol is obeyed.
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-auto-pilot
+
+The :meth:`run` method must return the auto-pilot for the next message, wrapped
+in an :class:`Option`; setting it to :obj:`None` terminates the auto-pilot.
+
+Caution about Timing Assertions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The behavior of :meth:`within` blocks when using test probes might be perceived
+as counter-intuitive: you need to remember that the nicely scoped deadline as
+described :ref:`above <JavaTestKit.within>` is local to each probe. Hence, probes
+do not react to each other's deadlines or to the deadline set in an enclosing
+:class:`JavaTestKit` instance:
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#test-within-probe
+
+Here, the ``expectMsgEquals`` call will use the default timeout.
+
+.. _Java-CallingThreadDispatcher:
+
+CallingThreadDispatcher
+=======================
+
+The :class:`CallingThreadDispatcher` serves good purposes in unit testing, as
+described above, but originally it was conceived in order to allow contiguous
+stack traces to be generated in case of an error. As this special dispatcher
+runs everything which would normally be queued directly on the current thread,
+the full history of a message's processing chain is recorded on the call stack,
+so long as all intervening actors run on this dispatcher.
+
+How to use it
+-------------
+
+Just set the dispatcher as you normally would:
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/testkit/TestKitDocTest.java#calling-thread-dispatcher
+
+How it works
+------------
+
+When receiving an invocation, the :class:`CallingThreadDispatcher` checks
+whether the receiving actor is already active on the current thread. The
+simplest example for this situation is an actor which sends a message to
+itself. In this case, processing cannot continue immediately as that would
+violate the actor model, so the invocation is queued and will be processed when
+the active invocation on that actor finishes its processing; thus, it will be
+processed on the calling thread, but simply after the actor finishes its
+previous work. In the other case, the invocation is simply processed
+immediately on the current thread. Futures scheduled via this dispatcher are
+also executed immediately.
+
+This scheme makes the :class:`CallingThreadDispatcher` work like a general
+purpose dispatcher for any actors which never block on external events.
+
+In the presence of multiple threads it may happen that two invocations of an
+actor running on this dispatcher happen on two different threads at the same
+time. In this case, both will be processed directly on their respective
+threads, where both compete for the actor's lock and the loser has to wait.
+Thus, the actor model is left intact, but the price is loss of concurrency due
+to limited scheduling. In a sense this is equivalent to traditional mutex style
+concurrency.
+
+The other remaining difficulty is correct handling of suspend and resume: when
+an actor is suspended, subsequent invocations will be queued in thread-local
+queues (the same ones used for queuing in the normal case). The call to
+:meth:`resume`, however, is done by one specific thread, and all other threads
+in the system will probably not be executing this specific actor, which leads
+to the problem that the thread-local queues cannot be emptied by their native
+threads. Hence, the thread calling :meth:`resume` will collect all currently
+queued invocations from all threads into its own queue and process them.
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+If an actor's behavior blocks on a something which would normally be affected
+by the calling actor after having sent the message, this will obviously
+dead-lock when using this dispatcher. This is a common scenario in actor tests
+based on :class:`CountDownLatch` for synchronization:
+
+.. code-block:: scala
+
+   val latch = new CountDownLatch(1)
+   actor ! startWorkAfter(latch)   // actor will call latch.await() before proceeding
+   doSomeSetupStuff()
+   latch.countDown()
+
+The example would hang indefinitely within the message processing initiated on
+the second line and never reach the fourth line, which would unblock it on a
+normal dispatcher.
+
+Thus, keep in mind that the :class:`CallingThreadDispatcher` is not a
+general-purpose replacement for the normal dispatchers. On the other hand it
+may be quite useful to run your actor network on it for testing, because if it
+runs without dead-locking chances are very high that it will not dead-lock in
+production.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   The above sentence is unfortunately not a strong guarantee, because your
+   code might directly or indirectly change its behavior when running on a
+   different dispatcher. If you are looking for a tool to help you debug
+   dead-locks, the :class:`CallingThreadDispatcher` may help with certain error
+   scenarios, but keep in mind that it has may give false negatives as well as
+   false positives.
+
+Benefits
+--------
+
+To summarize, these are the features with the :class:`CallingThreadDispatcher`
+has to offer:
+
+ - Deterministic execution of single-threaded tests while retaining nearly full
+   actor semantics
+ - Full message processing history leading up to the point of failure in
+   exception stack traces
+ - Exclusion of certain classes of dead-lock scenarios
+
+.. _actor.logging-java:
+
+Tracing Actor Invocations
+=========================
+
+The testing facilities described up to this point were aiming at formulating
+assertions about a system’s behavior. If a test fails, it is usually your job
+to find the cause, fix it and verify the test again. This process is supported
+by debuggers as well as logging, where the Akka toolkit offers the following
+options:
+
+* *Logging of exceptions thrown within Actor instances*
+
+  This is always on; in contrast to the other logging mechanisms, this logs at
+  ``ERROR`` level.
+
+* *Logging of special messages*
+
+  Actors handle certain special messages automatically, e.g. :obj:`Kill`,
+  :obj:`PoisonPill`, etc. Tracing of these message invocations is enabled by
+  the setting ``akka.actor.debug.autoreceive``, which enables this on all
+  actors.
+
+* *Logging of the actor lifecycle*
+
+  Actor creation, start, restart, monitor start, monitor stop and stop may be traced by
+  enabling the setting ``akka.actor.debug.lifecycle``; this, too, is enabled
+  uniformly on all actors.
+
+All these messages are logged at ``DEBUG`` level. To summarize, you can enable
+full logging of actor activities using this configuration fragment::
+
+  akka {
+    loglevel = DEBUG
+    actor {
+      debug {
+        autoreceive = on
+        lifecycle = on
+      }
+    }
+  }

+Stash
+=====
+
+The ``UntypedActorWithStash`` class enables an actor to temporarily stash away messages
+that can not or should not be handled using the actor's current
+behavior. Upon changing the actor's message handler, i.e., right
+before invoking ``getContext().become()`` or ``getContext().unbecome()``, all
+stashed messages can be "unstashed", thereby prepending them to the actor's
+mailbox. This way, the stashed messages can be processed in the same
+order as they have been received originally.
+
+.. warning::
+
+  Please note that the stash can only be used together with actors
+  that have a deque-based mailbox. For this, configure the
+  ``mailbox-type`` of the dispatcher to be a deque-based mailbox, such as
+  ``akka.dispatch.UnboundedDequeBasedMailbox`` (see :ref:`dispatchers-java`).
+
+Here is an example of the ``UntypedActorWithStash`` class in action:
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/actor/UntypedActorDocTestBase.java#stash
+
+Invoking ``stash()`` adds the current message (the message that the
+actor received last) to the actor's stash. It is typically invoked
+when handling the default case in the actor's message handler to stash
+messages that aren't handled by the other cases. It is illegal to
+stash the same message twice; to do so results in an
+``IllegalStateException`` being thrown. The stash may also be bounded
+in which case invoking ``stash()`` may lead to a capacity violation,
+which results in a ``StashOverflowException``. The capacity of the
+stash can be configured using the ``stash-capacity`` setting (an ``Int``) of the
+dispatcher's configuration.
+
+Invoking ``unstashAll()`` enqueues messages from the stash to the
+actor's mailbox until the capacity of the mailbox (if any) has been
+reached (note that messages from the stash are prepended to the
+mailbox). In case a bounded mailbox overflows, a
+``MessageQueueAppendFailedException`` is thrown.
+The stash is guaranteed to be empty after calling ``unstashAll()``.
+
+The stash is backed by a ``scala.collection.immutable.Vector``. As a
+result, even a very large number of messages may be stashed without a
+major impact on performance.
+
+Note that the stash is not persisted across restarts of an actor,
+unlike the actor's mailbox. Therefore, it should be managed like other
+parts of the actor's state which have the same property.

+before invoking ``context.become`` or ``context.unbecome``, all
+stashed messages can be "unstashed", thereby prepending them to the actor's
+mailbox. This way, the stashed messages can be processed in the same
+order as they have been received originally.
+
+.. warning::
+
+  Please note that the ``Stash`` can only be used together with actors
+  that have a deque-based mailbox. For this, configure the
+  ``mailbox-type`` of the dispatcher to be a deque-based mailbox, such as
+  ``akka.dispatch.UnboundedDequeBasedMailbox`` (see :ref:`dispatchers-scala`).
+
+Here is an example of the ``Stash`` in action:
+
+.. includecode:: code/docs/actor/ActorDocSpec.scala#stash
+
+Invoking ``stash()`` adds the current message (the message that the
+actor received last) to the actor's stash. It is typically invoked
+when handling the default case in the actor's message handler to stash
+messages that aren't handled by the other cases. It is illegal to
+stash the same message twice; to do so results in an
+``IllegalStateException`` being thrown. The stash may also be bounded
+in which case invoking ``stash()`` may lead to a capacity violation,
+which results in a ``StashOverflowException``. The capacity of the
+stash can be configured using the ``stash-capacity`` setting (an ``Int``) of the
+dispatcher's configuration.
+
+Invoking ``unstashAll()`` enqueues messages from the stash to the
+actor's mailbox until the capacity of the mailbox (if any) has been
+reached (note that messages from the stash are prepended to the
+mailbox). In case a bounded mailbox overflows, a
+``MessageQueueAppendFailedException`` is thrown.
+The stash is guaranteed to be empty after calling ``unstashAll()``.
+
+The stash is backed by a ``scala.collection.immutable.Vector``. As a
+result, even a very large number of messages may be stashed without a
+major impact on performance.
+
+.. warning::
+
+  Note that the ``Stash`` trait must be mixed into (a subclass of) the
+  ``Actor`` trait before any trait/class that overrides the ``preRestart``
+  callback. This means it's not possible to write
+  ``Actor with MyActor with Stash`` if ``MyActor`` overrides ``preRestart``.
+
+Note that the stash is not persisted across restarts of an actor,
+unlike the actor's mailbox. Therefore, it should be managed like other
+parts of the actor's state which have the same property.
