I am creating my Akka actors via Spring integration as described here
<https://github.com/typesafehub/activator-akka-java-spring>. When I look at
my actors paths I always see the $ followed by the letter. For example If I
create an actor and send the message as
rootActor = system.actorOf(SpringExtProvider.get(system).create("rootActor"
).withRouter(new RoundRobinPool(5)), "root");
rootActor.tell(new Integer(0), null);
and then the log the path inside the actor
public class RootActor extends UntypedActor {
private static final Logger logger =
LoggerFactory.getLogger(RootActor.class);
@Override
public void onReceive(Object message) throws Exception {
logger.info("{} {} received the message",
this.getClass().getSimpleName(), self().path());
}
}
The log entry would be
RootActor akka://AkkaDemo/user/root/$a received the message
I am wondering what $a signify? Another question is should the router be in
the path?
