hi hakkers, i have two actors: the first one patterns.ask() a message to the second one which returns a response:
a snippet osender: ... public PartialFunction<Object, BoxedUnit> receive() { return ReceiveBuilder .match( Boolean.class, msg -> { ActorRef receiver = context().system() .actorOf( Props.create( ReceiveActor.class ), ReceiveActor.class .getSimpleName() ); Future<Object> future = Patterns.ask( receiver, "Hello world", new Timeout( Duration .create( 5, "seconds" ) ) ); Patterns.pipe( future, context().dispatcher() ).to( self() ); } ) .match( String.class, msg-> log(msg) ) .build(); } *...* receiver: ... public PartialFunction<Object, BoxedUnit> receive() { return ReceiveBuilder.matchAny( msg -> { sender().tell( ((String)msg).toUpperCase(), self() ); } ).build(); } ... all is good, a message is sent and response arrives as expected. now, i try to change a receiver so that the message handling is done in a separate thread: ... public PartialFunction<Object, BoxedUnit> receive() { return ReceiveBuilder.matchAny( msg -> { Future<String> done= Futures.future( (Callable<String>) () -> ((String)msg).toUpperCase(), context().dispatcher() ) ; done.onSuccess( new OnSuccess<String>() { @Override public void onSuccess( String result ) throws Throwable { sender().tell( result, self() ); } }, context().dispatcher() ); } ).build(); } ... in this case i get the following error: [akka://main/deadLetters] Message [java.lang.String] from Actor[akka://main/user/ReceiveActor#603147641] to Actor[akka://main/deadLetters] was not delivered. it seems that sender() within the future is not recognizable as my sender actor anymore. what do i miss and what is the solution? thanks! -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
