Hello,
I have a remote actor that does work in its receive block that can return a
future. For example:
class FooActor() extends Actor {
def receive = {
case inMsg:Msg => sender ! doSomeWork(inMsg) // doSomeWork returns
Future[Seq[String]]
}
}
Would this work remotely? I tried using it like this on the client side:
val myActor = .... // look up a selector
val fut = ask(myActor, Msg("hi")).mapTo[Seq[String]]
val res = Await.result(fut, 5.seconds)
This returns scala.concurrent.impl.Promise$DefaultPromise, which I have no
clue what to do with. I've also tried variants with '?' notation for the
ask.
Is there I way to stay unblocked during this whole thing, or will I have to
Await on doSomeWork in FooActor then send the results (Seq[String])?
Thanks!
Greg
