如何使用Akka actor处理Java中的套接字？

Question

I found tons of examples how to handle sockets in Scala with Akka actors, but there is no IO in the Java API. How should I use sockets in Java from within an Akka actor? Is there any wrapper around sockets that makes possible to communicate with the sockets using messages?

Answer 1

The IO module only provides an api for Scala. The IOManager may not be too hard to use from Java, you just have to handle the case classes it sends for each event type. The IO.Iteratee would probably be trickier to use from Java code, so you might just avoid using that.
