Sample application using Akka in Java.
For now it uses Java Akka Classic API only, but I intend to use this repository, soon, to learn about the newest Akka API in Java as well. I plan also to include JUnit Tests for the Actors in the near future.
This sample application's main entry is class TransactionsProcessor. The data to be processed is provided via class TransactionProvider and sent to the Actor System, as follows:
- TransactionsActor - Actor that receives a list of transactions to be processed. Based on the customer associated to each transaction, it will either find or create a related child Actor (see next point).
- CustomerActor - child Actor (see previous point) that process the transaction for a customer.
This project can be built with either Maven or Gradle, and it was developed with Java 21. In both cases, JAR file sample-akka-app-all-<version>.jar is built, which can be used to run the application in the command line, as per following example:
cd <location of JAR file>
java -jar sample-akka-app-all-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
In any case, I recommend to simply import this project and run it in the preferred IDE.
