That doesn't mean you have to structure all code into one actor. You can delegate to other classes, and you can have other actors performing work and collecting the sub-results, and then finally when everything is ready perform the update in one actor. > > However, I have just read the 2.3 migration guide and it seems that this > whole area is to be deprecated.

For local usage you can use STM, but you don't need the Akka abstractions for that. /Patrik > > Cheers, > > Kevin > > -- > >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ > >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: http://akka.io/faq/ > >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Akka User List" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/akka-user. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > -- Patrik Nordwall Typesafe <http://typesafe.com/> - Reactive apps on the JVM Twitter: @patriknw -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: http://akka.io/faq/ >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
