Hi, Basically yes. You situation is additionally complicated by the serialization that needs extra configuration. What I have been doing is creating a jar file for my API - Commands & Request/Response pairs and add it as a libraryDependency to the front end and the other machines in the cluster.
I still have other issues with akka-cluster and micro-services noted in my post: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/akka-user/hB99qWCfWsk On Tuesday, April 28, 2015 at 6:17:27 AM UTC-4, Vaibhav Raj wrote: > > Hi, > > I am building micro services using akka-cluster in Java.
