Folks,

I'm working on parsing through some JSON that's posted/put as part of a
request.  I'd like to find the messageId field and only get it if its type
is JInt.  I'm doing this within a for comprehension that has a Box at the
top of it, so the resulting expression must play well with Box.  What I've
got is:

      for {
        user <- WorkerMgr.find(UserId(user)) ?~ "User not found"
        json <- r.json
        (_, messageJson) <- (json \ classOf[JField]).find(_._1 ==
"messageId")
        messageId <- Box.asA[JInt](messageJson)
        (_, timemillisJson) <- (json \ classOf[JField]).find(_._1 ==
"timestamp")
        timemillis <- Box.asA[JInt](timemillisJson)
      } yield ...

The lines that look for messageId and timestamp and insure they are JInts
are kinda verbose.  Is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do?

Thanks,

David
