Deploying remote actors programmatically on different nodes

In this recipe, we will see how to create remote actors programmatically without explicitly defining them in the configuration. 

Getting ready

All the prerequisites are the same as before. We will reuse SimpleActor.scala, application-1.conf, and application-2.conf from the previous recipe.

How to do it...

1. Create a file named RemoteActorProgramatically.scala. Inside this, define two small Scala applications--RemoteActorsProgrammatically1 and RemoteActorsProgrammatically--with an ActorSystem. In the second file, create an actor of the type SampleActor, using the withDeploy method:

        package com.packt.chapter7
        import akka.actor.{ActorSystem, Address, Deploy, Props}
        import akka.remote.RemoteScope

        object RemoteActorsProgrammatically1 extends App {
          val actorSystem =
            ActorSystem("RemoteActorsProgramatically1")
        }

        object RemoteActorsProgrammatically2 extends App {
        ...
