Akka Chat Client/Server Sample Application
How to run the sample:
1. Fire up two shells. For each of them:
- Step down into to the root of the Akka distribution.
- Set 'export AKKA_HOME=<root of distribution>.
- Run 'sbt console' to start up a REPL (interpreter).
2. In the first REPL you get execute:
- scala> import sample.chat._
- scala> import akka.actor.Actor._
- scala> val chatService = actorOf[ChatService].start()
3. In the second REPL you get execute:
- scala> import sample.chat._
- scala> ClientRunner.run
4. See the chat simulation run.
5. Run it again to see full speed after first initialization.
6. In the client REPL, or in a new REPL, you can also create your own client
- scala> import sample.chat._
- scala> val myClient = new ChatClient("<your name>")
- scala> myClient.login
- scala> myClient.post("Can I join?")
- scala> println("CHAT LOG:\n\t" + myClient.chatLog.log.mkString("\n\t"))
That’s it. Have fun.
