how to specify a config file when creating actor system through spring

[Ming Xu]

Hello,

I am using Spring 3.2 and Akka 2.1. I am able to create actor system successfully through Spring. However, I have problems to specify a config file for it. Could anyone help? Thanks very much.

xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

<bean id="myActorSystem" class="akka.actor.ActorSystem"

    factory-method="create" destroy-method="shutdown" scope="singleton">

    <constructor-arg value="myActorSystem" />

</bean>

</beans>

application.conf

myActorSystem {

    my-dispatcher {

        mailbox-type = com.test.mailbox.MongoMailboxType

    }

}

Java code to create actor:

@Configuration

public class myActorConfig {

    @Autowired

    ActorSystem myActorSystem; 

    @Bean

    @Scope(value=ConfigurableBeanFactory.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE)

 

    public ActorRef myActor() {

        return importActorSystem.actorOf(Props.create(MyActor.class).withDispatcher("my-dispatcher"));

    }  

} 

Error message:

Dispatcher [my-dispatcher] not configured for path akka://myActorSystem/user/$a 

I always got the error even though I have a configuration for myActorSystem in application.conf. I did many study and test, but could not make it work.

Hi,

Given the above application.conf the dispatcher should have id: "myActorSystem.my-dispatcher"

/Patrik

    }  

} 

Error message:

Dispatcher [my-dispatcher] not configured for path akka://myActorSystem/user/$a 

I always got the error even though I have a configuration for myActorSystem in application.conf. I did many study and test, but could not make it work.
