Hello hAkkers, I have found this older post in the mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/akka-user/OSGI/akka-user/v38piS5G9hM/bF2l_1yWqC0J and have wondered if there is ongoing effort in that space. I have seen the Dining hakkers example on github, but not much more on th

Hello, thanks for your responses. @Roman: There is no problem with the example on github. I haven't tried running it, but I took inspiration from it to set up Akka in my container. My question is in fact a "state of the union" question. What I was after was whether some work has already been

Hi Raman, I will take your advice and post on akka-dev once I have something presentable. I'll have to think about the benefits - other than it's cool stuff to play with In a nutshell I would expect it to be easier to handle Services coming and going on the OSGI container with an Actorba

[akka-user] Configuration approach for Akka in OSGi

2014-05-06 Thread Andreas Gies
Hello Hakkers, today I am interested how you usually configure your bundles inside an OSGi container. I can easily access the application.conf provided with Akka itself to get to all the default values. I can also provide bundle specific configuration in separate files and my bundle would pi

Hello Hakkers, following this discussion, I have made some progress in getting an actor based API around the OSGI framework going. For those interested, the project is located at [1]. There is some documentation at [2] - [4]. [1] https://github.com/woq/de.woq.osgi.java [2] https://github.c

2014-05-08 Thread Andreas Gies
Hello Hakkers, I am working on an application that uses OSGI under the covers for its modularization requirements. I have a scenario where a bundle provides an actor that gathers events and redistributes them to a group of listeners. In OSGi the gathering actor may come and go. While it is ea

2014-05-08 Thread Andreas Gies
Might be fun though ;) What I found is: whenever I tried to use Akka for a bit of my application, somehow that bit kept changing. I guess that is because switching between Akka style and non Akka-style feels a bit awkward. This havin said, a large part of my app is still non-Akka and it might

[akka-user] When to create an extension ?

2014-05-15 Thread Andreas Gies
Hello Hakkers, I was wondering what the reasons would be to develop an extension rather than "a plain Akka" application. The reason I am asking is that I had a brief look at the Camel extension and noticed It kind of shields the user from knowing about the actors that the extension uses inte

Hi to me it sounds like you are modelling something like a pipeline per request. In addition to what Martynas has suggested, you may want to get the EA version of "Akka in Action". They describe a couple of design patterns by translating quite common Enterprise Integration patterns to Akka. A
