Hi, I am new in Akka. Here's situation. I am writing program which computes some math problem. 1 Experiment is computed by 1 EvaluationActor No. of experiments might be thousands,or hundreds of thousends, even more. Each EvaluationActor has child actor - ResultActor which collects stats from experiment. Now, I have EvaluationScheduler type(which's non-actor) and want to collect stats from all experiments to show it. According to documentation I should use Inbox class to be able to get multi replies from ResultActors. Here's some test code for Inbox usage :
def InboxTest = { implicit val as = ActorSystem() val a = actor(new Act { become { case "hello" ⇒ sender ! "hi" case "hello1" ⇒ sender ! "hi1" case "hello2" ⇒ sender ! "hi2" } }) implicit val i = inbox() a ! "hello" a ! "hello2" a ! "hello1" i.receive().asInstanceOf[String].foreach(print _) print("\n") i.receive().asInstanceOf[String].foreach(print _) print("\n") i.receive().asInstanceOf[String].foreach(print _) print("\n") The code is rough, but my thought was to show that I have to call receive() each time I want get next message. Since I can't get mailboxsize will be tricky to know when check for next message. So now, using this I need to build some mechanism to be sure that I have all stats from each ResultActor = each experiment. Simple solution for this is counting received messages and maybe sending some experimentID or something. But this's not solution, because if mailbox will be empty at I got : java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: deadline passed Any better ideas/propositions? Maybe there's better way more like "out of the box" in akka for such task? regards Darius. -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
