Hi all,

I have system design question about application with akka actors inside.

For example I have some Actors:

object EmailSender {
  case class SendMessage(address: String, msg: String)
}

class EmailSender(config: SMTPConfig) extends Actor with ActorLogging {
  import EmailSender._

  def receive = {
    case SendMessage(address, msg) =>
      // some email send logic
  }
}

object Worker {
  case object DoWork
}


//First variant
class Worker extends Actor with ActorLogging {
  import Worker._

  val emailActor = context.actorSelection("email-sender")

  def receive = {
    case DoWork =>
      //do some work and send email
      emailActor ! EmailSender.SendMessage("[email protected]", "Work 
complete")
  }
}

//Second variant
class Worker(emailActor: ActorRef) extends Actor with ActorLogging {
  import Worker._

  def receive = {
    case DoWork =>
      //do some work and send email
      emailActor ! EmailSender.SendMessage("[email protected]", "Work 
complete")
  }
}

What variant more 'true akka-style'?

PS: I read about cake pattern and cake I really liked, for obvious 
dependency injections, but I don't figure out how use 'cake' in case of 
some dependent actor`s.
