We need it for tweaking and assessing performance of our system, and typesafe console for 2.1 still isn't out yet :/

Won't this block on parallel calls to the web service? As you're reusing the same shakespeare actor with the default dispatcher?

See above.

Ok, money where my mouth is. This seems to work, and I think the threading is correct. You can even hook into play2mini's Akka thread pool by creating your actor like: play.lib.Akka.system().actorOf(...)

Timeout timeout = new Timeout(Duration.parse("20 seconds"));
Future<object> future = Patterns.ask(myActor, new ClientMessage(null), timeout); Promise<object> sdf = Akka.asPromise(future); Promise<result> r2 = sdf.map(new Function<object, result="">() { @Override
public Result apply(Object a) throws Throwable { val wsrm = (MyMessage)a; return ok((wsrm).val); // String value from message object } }); Result test2 = async(r2); return test2;

Here's the gist: https://gist.github.com/235...

Then in your actor's receive method, make sure you sender().tell(new MyMessage("hello world from java akka!"));

Nice - what are those two programs you're using there? Is that SBT at the top?

Ah yes of course - I remembered that soon after I posted :)

A couple of things..

a) If you make it a trait - you can mix it in and just call tryNTimes without the object classifier - that's closer still, right?

b) You can still retry and function, by creating a curried function or function pointer and passing that in:

def myFunc(s:String) { println(s) }
def toRetry = myFunc("Hi!")
tryNTimes(toRetry, 5)

right? I used this style in some test code I just wrote, where I had a test sequence that applied to several code blocks, some that took params.

Nice - I like. Were all those exceptions run time exceptions - is that why you aren't catching them?
