Simple example implementation of routing with akka typed actors

type-actors-routing.scala

val defaultAkkaTimeout = 60
val defaultNumberOfActors = 10
 
def getComponentActor[T <: AnyRef](timeout: akka.util.Timeout = Timeout(Duration(defaultAkkaTimeout, SECONDS)))(implicit m: Manifest[T]): T = {
  val className = this.classCache.get(m.runtimeClass.getName)
 
  val actorCount = defaultNumberOfActors
  val actors = createRouterActors(actorCount,className,timeout)
  val router = system.actorOf(Props.empty.withRouter(SmallestMailboxRouter.create(actors.toIterable.asJava)))
  TypedActor(system).typedActorOf(TypedProps(Reflect(system).actorClassFor(className.get)).withTimeout(timeout), router)
}
 
def createRouterActors[T <: AnyRef](actorCount:Int, className:Option[String], timeout:akka.util.Timeout)(implicit m: Manifest[T]): Seq[ActorRef] = {
  (1 to actorCount).map {
    i =>
      TypedActor.get(system).getActorRefFor(TypedActor.get(system).typedActorOf(TypedProps(Reflect(system).actorClassFor(className.get)).withTimeout(timeout)))
  }
