I have the following stateful Actor class StudentActor extends Actor with ActorLogging{ var student:Student = Student(id,firstName,lastName)
implicit val executionContext = Try { context.system.dispatchers.lookup("blocking-code-dispatcher") }.getOrElse(context.system.dispatcher) override def receive = { case UpdateStudent(_, c) => Future[Student] { val updatedStudent = student.copy(counter = student.counter + c) student = updatedStudent log.info(sender().toString()) updatedStudent }(executionContext).map(updatedStudent => sender() ! updatedStudent) case GetStudent(id,_) => sender() ! student } } When I try to use ask pattern to update this student from main method, I'm receiving timeout holder.ask(UpdateStudent("1")).mapTo[Student].foreach(println(_)) However, if I remove Future method and using the following code it works like charm: case UpdateStudent(_, c) => val updatedStudent = student.copy(counter = student.counter + c) student = updatedStudent log.info(sender().toString()) updatedStudent sender() ! updatedStudent Why using Future in partial method causes ask timeout? I believe this is something stupid, but I can't figure it out :) -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
