Modern Akka DI with Guice

Question

Java 8, Guice 4.0 and Akka 2.3.9 here. I am trying to figure out how to annotate my actor classes with JSR330-style @Inject annotations, and then wire them all up v

Answer 1

Use an akka Creator:

public class GuiceCreator implements Creator {
 Class clz;
 Module module;
 /*Constructor*/

 public T create() {
    Injector injector = Guice.createInjector(this.module);
    return injector.getInstance(this.clz);
  }
}

Then use Props.create with your shiny new guice-based creator.

Disclaimer: I don't actually know Akka, the mentioned information comes from browsing the documentation and JavaDoc.
