akka and cdi are good friends

today i implemented a small lib (less than 100 lines of code) which integrates akka and cdi.

it supports injection of akka artifacts (ActorRef and ActorSystem) in cdi-beans as well injection of cdi-beans in actors.

examples:




this lib doesn't intend to provide a full integration. it should just illustrate how easy it is to use akka in combination with cdi (and to integrate both).

(parts of it are done with deltaspike, however, it's easy to replace (copy) the needed parts to avoid a dependency.)

you just need to be aware of some basic rules given by actor-frameworks (some details are mentioned here).
