Anyone have a good code example? > Well, to begin with, this sort of problem is usually handled with ask(), not tell() -- you should look into that. (It's not strictly necessary, but ask() is usually much less complex than trying to get results back from a tell().) And yes, ask() returns a Future, and yes, you should basically never use Await in real code. Instead, you need to get comfortable with Future.map(), which is how you say "When this Future gets a value, do something". That and variations of it are the way you deal with messages from Actors without messing up threading... -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
