scala - How to manage HTTP requests in Akka? -

i'm using spray in application , examples i've see on github looks people handle http requests in akka passing httpcontext object around actors , calling oncomplete { } on future in last actor.

is sending context deep down in application idea ? way every event object have context parameter.

how handle http requests & response in akka? i've read this article know people's thoughts run akka in production on right way of achieving this.

i prefer use ask pattern in spray service, , onsuccess directive, e.g.:

trait myservice extends httpservice {    def worker: actorref    implicit def timeout:timeout    implicit def ec:executioncontext    def askworker: future[string] = (worker ? "hello").mapto[string]    def myroute = path("/") {     {       onsuccess(askworker){         case str => complete(str)       }     }   } } 

then concrete actor such as:

class serviceactor extends myservice actor {    implicit val ec = context.system    implicit val timeout = timeout(3 seconds)    val worker = context.actorof(props[workeractor])    override def actorreffactory = context.system    def receive = runroute(myroute) } 

i pattern rather passing request context around since means other actors don't have have concept of http. service replaced different protocol. in example worker actor can like:

class workeractor extends actor {    def receive = {     case "hello" => sender() ! "hello world"   } }
