Thanks a lot Konrad. That gives me some confidence in that my plan looks sane :-) I went ahead and started ramping up on Scala and Akka and try to model my first problem.
I asked that problem in "Is it a good way to initialize Actor?". Your advice was really helpful and I started on approach where I made some progress and stuck because of some other issue. I tried to search a lot in documentation but could not understand the behavior, so I asked another question here <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/akka-user/P_vMC74ZfGY/YR3PzG4PoOsJ> Will look forward to replies to understand what is going on.
