I stumbled on to a DI/Service locator pattern yesterday, using an extension 
as the ‘application context’ if you will.

Something along the lines of 

trait Dependencies{
   def serviceA : ActorRef
   def serviceB:  ServiceTrait
}

case class DI(system: ExtendedActorSystem)  extends Extension with 
Dependencies{...}

object DI extends ExtensionId[DI] with ExtensionIdProvider{...}

val serviceA = DI(system).serviceA

I havent seen this approach described anywhere. I like this approach as it 
allows a central place to do stuff like init of ClusterSingletons, Sharding 
etc..

It also will let you actually use a DI framework like guice to inject the 
DI instance. 

Anyone done similar? Anything that didnt work out?
