Dynamic Actor Loading

Coming Soon

This documentation is under development.

Overview

Dynamic Actor Loading allows you to create and configure actors at runtime based on external configuration files, enabling flexible and extensible actor systems without recompilation.

Topics to be Covered

  • Loading actor definitions from YAML/JSON
  • Runtime class loading and instantiation
  • Actor factory patterns
  • Configuration-driven actor hierarchies
  • Hot-reloading actors
  • Plugin-based actor systems

Basic Example

// Example of dynamic actor loading (conceptual)
ActorSystem system = new ActorSystem("dynamic-demo");

// Load actor definitions from config
ActorConfig config = ActorConfig.fromYaml("actors.yaml");

for (ActorDefinition def : config.getActors()) {
Object actorInstance = def.createInstance();
ActorRef<?> ref = system.actorOf(def.getName(), actorInstance);
}

Use Cases

  • Plugin architectures
  • Multi-tenant systems
  • Environment-specific actor configurations
  • Testing with mock actors

This page will be expanded with detailed documentation and examples.
