Hi John, your problem description is a bit abstract so not quite sure what to advice there, however: please do bear in mind that Streams do not replace Actors. They complement them. Streams are nice for linear things, though Actors are nice for dynamic and distributed settings.
It depends on your exact problem. Yes, if it’s a more-or-less static processing pipeline you can model it as a stream (akka http is for example all streams). You can take a look at building custom GraphStages (search the docs for that keyword). -- Cheers, Konrad 'ktoso <http://kto.so>' Malawski Akka <http://akka.io/> @ Lightbend <http://lightbend.com/> On November 11, 2017 at 11:13:32, John Antypas ([email protected]) wrote: Good evening all.... I'm learning my Akka, or rather learning to do it better. I'm looking at writing a lightweight protocol stack. In the old Java world, I'd write a rather large FSM that would handle all states and events.. but that was the old days. I assume today, I'd want to use Akka streams. Assume I had something like this: FSM-Main: Handles main protocol states (Connected, Setup, Authentication, Running) Under each state, I have an FSM just for that state. For example, under the Auth state, I have a sub FSM that handles the various authentication FSM. I assume this is legal. Now, in streams, where does this fit in with Akka streams -- I assume each stream element would have its own FSM? -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
