Hi there, It's prohibited to leak and close over actor internals. In your case Future not only closes over 'sender()', which is very bad and causes timeout (cause by the time future is complete sender() is null), you also modify actor internal state inside it, assigning to 'student', which is just horrible.
In your example there us no need for Future at all. If you try to model some prolonged action, you should fix your sender by 'val reply = sender()' before Future invocation and send results after it back to sender and self, to update your student. -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
