What version of Akka are you evaluating, and what's your time to market? If it's far enough away, your best bet is to look at the M2 release of Akka 2.0. In particular, the Event Bus:
http://akka.io/docs/akka/2.0-M2/java/event-bus.html I wish I could tell you a final release date, but we're at milestones already and I know the guys are working flat out in the thing.
