Hello, I'm fairly new with Akka (and maybe the whole question below is polluted by my synchronous background). In my app, I have to parse 2 CSV available as HTTP, I plan to access them from one actor that accept two messages (one per csv). But I should add another HTTP resources next week. So I'm planning to create one 'HttpFetch'. My question is about the reply for this actor. Should use *tell *or *ask* ?
- With *ask* everything seems simple, I ask for a resource and receive a Future that I can map. But I have the feeling that *ask* must be used in border cases. - With *tell* then the 'HttpFectch' actor will receive 'Get(target:URI)' and send the response later with a *'*Got(target: URI, response:..)'. That's nice and looks simple also. But I have to combine the result of the two CSV (find "tag" in first and filter lines of second based on this "tag"). So I have to maintains state in my actor and I know this is a bad idea. So, what is the best pattern to send and combine the response of two messages ? -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
