akka-persistence vs eventsourced in Play 2.2 app

[erich]

Hi,
I'm wanting to use eventsourced/akka-persistence in a play application i'm working on.  Obviously akka-persistence is the future and I'd like to use that, but it's in the Akka 2.3 dev line and Play uses 2.2.  I was thinking about using eventsourced for now to avoid any potential issues with pulling Akka 2.3 into Play 2.2,  but it also appears that there may be a fair amount of API changes eventsourced -> akka-persistence, that would have to be addressed in a migration effort. 

Any reccommendations on the best way to proceed?

Well I'm using it for a CQRS implementation, and have stolen some ideas for the approach from your example so processors, emitters, etc.  Most of it's pretty straightforward I htink

As long as you're focusing more on the command/event sourcing part rather than reliable delivery, migration shouldn't be a big deal.

Ok, so the reliable channels are changing?  I am using those as well

The whole API completely changes (see http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/scala/persistence.html). Regarding reliable channels, in akka-persistence they won't have built-in redelivery should a target be temporarily unavailable. This must now be done on application-level (using an Akka reliable proxy or whatever, see also this discussion thread)
