Hi,

   I am using Akka 2.2.1 . 
I am looking up a remote actor using actorSelection using the code below. 

  def getActorRef(path: String, context: ActorContext, log:LoggingAdapter): 
ActorRef = {
   
    implicit val timeout = Timeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    val future = context.actorSelection(path).resolveOne().mapTo[ActorRef]

    val futureTimeout = Duration(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    val actorRef =
      try {
        Await.result(future, futureTimeout)
      } catch {
        case ex: Exception => {
          log.info("+++++ Not available :" + path)
          context.actorOf(Props.empty)

        }
      }

    actorRef
  }


Is there a more elegant way (without catching an exception)  of determining 
if a remote actor is running ? 


Thanks in advance for your assistance !

Shing
