Thank you Konrad .
I am not sure I got you.
IIUC you suggest to create an "external" service actor that will accept
messages and rout them to the proper external API and will send the
response back . if that is correct then again how can I test it ? the
testkit allow me to test incoming requests to my API .
I might didn't explain myself correctly or I am missing something .
my actor needs to call some external api . something like this :
class MyActor extends Actor {
def receive = {
case GetCities(countryCode:String) => //do http request from external
system to get the cities
}
}
