Scala equivalent of python echo server/client example?

Question

All the \"server\" example in scala use actors, reactors etc...

Can someone show me how to write a dead simple echo server and client, just like the following python

Answer 1

You can use netty java library. Here is an example usage in Scala:

Generally you need to use Java Socket API. In this example Java Socket API are used, but the whole server is wrapped in Actor in order to process clients in separate thread and not to block acceptor thread (the same thing you will normally do in Java, but you will use threads directly).
