Custom akka mail box configuration (Scala)

Question

I created my custom mailbox called CustomMailBox which derived from MyUnboundedMessageQueueSemantics trait. Then i put this configurations into application.conf:

custom-dispatcher {
  mailbox-requirement =
    "com.MyUnboundedMessageQueueSemantics"
}

akka.actor.mailbox.requirements {
  "com.MyUnboundedMessageQueueSemantics" =
    custom-dispatcher-mailbox
}

custom-dispatcher-mailbox {
  mailbox-type = "com.CustomMailBox"
}

akka.actor.deployment {
  /myactor {
    dispatcher = custom-dispatcher
  }
}

After that i create my actor this way:

val system = ActorSystem("mySystem")
val quadrocopter = system.actorOf(Quadrocopter.props(vrep, clientID, handler)
        .withDispatcher("custom-dispatcher"), "myactor")

and after running my program i got this error:

Exception in thread "main" akka.ConfigurationException: Dispatcher [custom-dispatcher] not configured for path akka://mySystem/user/myactor

Can anybody explain me what is wrong in that?

Answer 1

Problem solved by changing /myactor to " */myactor" in config file. Second step is to remove invocation of withDispatcher() function when creating actor.
