Hi, I am new to Akka os I apologise in advance if this is too simple.
I starting to write an application that is supposed to handle incoming events from a 3rd party server. The connection is proprietary and I need to use their library in Java in order to communicate with it. The way it works is that you are supposed to create a new 'Client' object, 'open' connection to the server with params and then call the Client.run(MyHandler) which loops endlessly inside until exit. The 'MyHandler' is extending their abstract class while I'm implementing a 'OnEvent' type of method. My question is, how is it best to handle this when using Akka? Should I spawn a new Thread from my main Actor's 'preStart' method that would do all the setup and call the their run method? or should I write my own ActorSystem and do it from there? Maybe a different way?
