jsonp support

// Controller Action
def jsonTest = Action { implicit request =>
   // create a json object
   val json = Json.toJson(Map("test" -> "hallo world"))
   // look for the callback parameter in the request 
   request.queryString.get("callback").flatMap(_.headOption) match {
      // return jsonp object 
      case Some(callback) => Ok(Jsonp(callback, json))

akka actor usage with promise

Actor

case class Request()
case class Response()

object MyActor {
 
 implicit val timeout = Timeout(20 second)
 
 lazy val default = {
  val actor = Akka.system.actorOf(Props[MyActor])
  actor
 }
 
 def test() = {
  (default ? Request()).asPromise
 }
}

class MyActor extends Actor {

 def receive = {
  case Request => {
   sender ! Response 
  }
 }
 
}

Controller

object Application extends Controller {
 def test = Action { implicit request =>
  val promise = MyActor.test()
  Async {
   promise.map(promise => {
    promise match {
     case Response => Ok("Got Response from Actor")
    }
   })
   
  }
 }
