Hi Jacek, As the name implies, japi is the java api, you’re not meant to be using those if you’re using Scala - just use the normal scala APIs. The Scala Routing DSL cannot be reused directly by Java since it’s using all kinds of Scala types which simlpy do not look as nice in Java. Akka HTTP (and Akka in general) aims to provide both languages with equally awesome DSLs, thus if things do not look great in Java, they may require a separate DSL which in turn can Java-native types everywhere etc. to make it feel “right” for a Java developer.
For example Akka Streams also has two separate DSLs. This is in order to maximise the user’s happieness when working with it from either Java or Scala, we simply can apply “what a Scala/Java developer would expect here” and provide the best possible DSL for each. The Java Routing DSL is in the works, some tests are here: https://github.com/akka/akka/blob/release-2.3-dev/akka-http-java8-tests/src/test/java/akka/http/server/japi/HandlerBindingTest.java It’s looks a bit different than the Scala one, which is because Java is not Scala and we’re unable to apply all the tricks we can apply in Scala Land for the Java DSL. Please note that this is a major improvement over spray, since it never had a Java DSL – with Akka HTTP even Java users will be able to use it :-) Cheers, -- Konrad 'ktoso' Malawski hAkker @ typesafe http://akka.io On 4 January 2015 at 14:08:16, Jacek Laskowski (jacek.japila...@gmail.com) wrote: Hi, It appears to be "first step of Java routing API" [1] with just a single commit (perhaps squashed earlier to make it look so). What's Java routing API? How is this different from Scala's one if any?

I've been pursuing the idea and used japi.HttpApp, but ended up with the following compilation error: [error] found : akka.http.server.scala.Route [error] (which expands to) akka.http.server.RequestContext => scala.concurrent.Future[akka.http.server.RouteResult] [error] required: akka.http.server.japi.Route Before going any further, I'd love figuring out what's the intent of the japi package and how the seemingly alike types - scala.Route and japi.Route - compare. Where should they be used? Jacek On Wednesday, December 10, 2014 2:54:16 PM UTC+1, Björn Antonsson wrote: Hi Stevo, There is no direct equivalent to the spray.routing.HttpService.
