Hello hAkkers,
I have a component, Akka Extension, to be exact, which has one managing
actor supervising several "worker" actors ()with different logic and roles).
I want to be able to provide users of extension with stable ActorRef's of
worker actors:
class MyExtension(system: ExtendedActorSystem) extends Extension {
val manager = system actorOf (ManagerActor.props(), "manager")
val actor1: ActorRef = ...
val actor2: ActorRef = ...
}
I see two ways of doing so:
1. Use ActorSelection instead of ActorRef -- I have stable names and all
selections will be 1-to-1, but still there will be some overhead;
2. Provide users with Future[ActorRef] and let ManagerActor complete
Promise[ActorRef], but than users will always have to deal with Future's
.foreach, .map etc.
Surely I don't want to Await till all ActorRef futures is resolved.
I think that a good solution would be to wrap Future[ActorRef] as ActorRef
instance, that delays all communication till the future is resolved and
forwards after that.
The question is -- maybe I'm overlooking some much more simpler and already
existent solution?
