hi, i'm looking for a solution for the following task:
i have 2 types of actors. their instances can be deployed in a local non-distributed environment or in a cluster, where they can be also available in the same node or on different nodes. these actors have to exchange messages in a stateless manner (like in microservices' event bus messaging style) without knowing where exactly their addressee is deployed. i see the following example in the distributed pubsub docs: ActorRef mediator = DistributedPubSub.get( getContext().system() ).mediator(); ... mediator.tell( new DistributedPubSubMediator.Send( "/user/destination", out, localAffinity ), self() ); my problem is that mediator currently supports tell() only, but i need a possibility to receive callback with a reply to original call, something like Patterns.ask(). does akka provide any solution for this? since i'm a total newbie, i'll also appreciate your advice in case i have to look for a solution based on other features. thanks. -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> 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.
