Question

I created the followind application.conf:

akka {

    actor {

        prio-dispatcher {
            type = "Dispatcher"
            mailbox-type = "my.package.PrioritizedMailbox"
        }

    }

}

when dumping configuration with

actorSystem = ActorSystem.create()
println(actorSystem.settings)

I’m getting the output:

        # application.conf: 5
        "prio-dispatcher" : {
            # application.conf: 7
            "mailbox-type" : "my.package.PrioritizedMailbox",
            # application.conf: 6
            "type" : "Dispatcher"
        },

and later on

[WARN] [08/30/2012 22:44:54.362] [default-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-3] [Dispatchers] Dispatcher [prio-dispatcher] not configured, using default-dispatcher

What am I missing here?

UPD Found the solution here, had to use the name “akka.actor.prio-dispatcher”

Answer 1

The configuration above dictates that name of mailbox is akka.actor.prio-dispatcher
