Hi I have a flow that I want to conditionally branch off to either one of two other flows. Basically I'm looking to "flatMap that shit", but how do I do this in the context of Akka streams?
In my current attempt the types will not line up in the flatten step, I get the compile error: polymorphic expression cannot be instantiated to expected type; [error] found : [T]akka.stream.FlattenStrategy[akka.stream.scaladsl.Source[T],T] [error] required: akka.stream.FlattenStrategy[akka.stream.scaladsl.Flow[akka.http.model.HttpRequest,akka.http.model.HttpResponse],?] [error] }.flatten( FlattenStrategy.concat ) Relevant code: val serverBinding = Http( systemRef ). bind( interface = interface, port = port ) val con: OutgoingConnection = Http( systemRef ).outgoingConnection( "akka.io" ) val badRequestFlow: Flow[HttpRequest, HttpResponse] = Flow[HttpRequest].map( _ ⇒ HttpResponse( BadRequest, entity = "Bad Request" ) ) val proxy: Flow[HttpRequest, HttpResponse] = con.flow.concat( Source( () ⇒ List( HttpRequest( GET, uri = "/" ) ).iterator ) ) val proxyRequest: Flow[HttpRequest, HttpResponse] = Flow[HttpRequest].map { case HttpRequest( POST, Uri.Path( "/proxy" ), _, _, _ ) ⇒ proxy case other ⇒ badRequestFlow }.flatten( FlattenStrategy.concat ) Any hints or examples warmly welcome! I'm also wondering about supervision of flows (for error handling) but I will put that in a separate post. /Magnus -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
