Deploying remote actors programmatically on different nodes
In this recipe, we will see how to create remote actors programmatically without explicitly defining them in the configuration.Â
Getting ready
All the prerequisites are the same as before. We will reuse SimpleActor.scala, application-1.conf, and application-2.conf from the previous recipe.
How to do it...
- Create a file named
RemoteActorProgramatically.scala. Inside this, define two small Scala applications--RemoteActorsProgrammatically1andRemoteActorsProgrammatically--with anActorSystem. In the second file, create an actor of the type SampleActor, using theÂwithDeploymethod:
package com.packt.chapter7
import akka.actor.{ActorSystem, Address, Deploy, Props}
import akka.remote.RemoteScope
object RemoteActorsProgrammatically1 extends App {
 val actorSystem =
ActorSystem("RemoteActorsProgramatically1")
}
object RemoteActorsProgrammatically2 extends App {
...
