Actually i think you are missing one more ../. I just built a hierarchy
that looks like yours and it works just fine:
//akka/user
| \
Jane John
|
Foo
|
Bar
|
Baz
from Baz I can reach John
val john = context.actorSelection("../../../../John")
Here is what's going on:
>From Baz:
'../Baz' is to self
'../../Bar' is to Bar
'../../../Foo' is to Foo
'../../../../John' is to John
So, from d1 you should locate C via ../../../../C
