Play2, scala: how to use controller result from another controller? - scala

Question

I have an application, that used play 2.3.8, scala and (if it matter) play-auth.
Have a controller, with method:
def foo(id: Long) = StackAction(AuthorityKey -> Everybody) { implicit request =>
//code forming json
Ok(json)
}
How can I get that json from another controller?
I try something, but without success:
def bar(id : Long) = StackAction(AuthorityKey -> Everybody){ implicit request =>
val futureResponse = AnotherController.foo(id).apply(request)
val result = Await.result(futureResponse, Timeout(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS).duration)
Logger.debug("_______________________" + result.body) //dont't know how to convert that to json
//handle json there
Ok(newResult)
}
How to do that right?

Answer 1

Try this
def bar(id : Long) = StackAction(AuthorityKey -> Everybody){ implicit request =>
val futureResponse: Future[JsValue] =
AnotherController.foo(id).apply(request).flatMap{ res =>
res.body |>>> Iteratee.consume[Array[Byte]]()
}.map(bytes => Json.parse(new String(bytes,"utf-8")))
val json = Await.result(futureResponse, Timeout(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS).duration)
Logger.debug("_______________________" + json) //dont't know how to convert that to json
//handle json there
Ok(json)
}
