Hi Daniel, What have you tried so far? What specifically isn't working?
Two documentation sources that you'll want to be familiar with are http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.3.0/general/configuration.html <http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.3.0/general/configuration.html> and https://github.com/typesafehub/config <https://github.com/typesafehub/config>. You'll note the first one covers the difference between "application.conf" and "reference.conf", the latter for loaded libraries. That seems appropriate for your usage. I haven't run an ActorSystem from within a J2EE webapp, but I can't imagine that it would have any problem running like that. If you have problems discovering the configuration because of classpath issues, you could build the configuration yourself and pass it to the ActorSystem instantiation. Hope that helps some...
