a scala remote actor exception

i with a scala code like this for echo service.

import scala.actors.Actor import scala.actors.Actor._ import scala.actors.remote.RemoteActor._

class Echo extends Actor {
   def act() {
        alive(9010)
        register('myName, self)

     loop {
       react {
            case msg  =>  println(msg)
       }
     }开发者_JAVA百科
   }
}
object EchoServer  {

   def main(args: Array[String]): unit = {
        val echo = new Echo
        echo.start
        println("Echo server started")
   }
} 
EchoServer.main(null)

but there has some exception.

ClassNotFoundException indicates that something was probably not compiled, that should have been compiled. How did you compile it? Manually using scalac?

Try the following rm *.class scalac *.scala scala EchoServer.

The following works:

---

EchoServer.scala

import scala.actors.Actor
import scala.actors.Actor._
import scala.actors.remote.RemoteActor._

class Echo extends Actor {
   def act() {
        alive(9010)
        register('myName, self)

     loop {
       react {
            case msg  =>  println(msg)
       }
     }
   }
}

object EchoServer  {

   def main(args: Array[String]): unit = {
        val echo = new Echo
        echo.start
        println("Echo server started")
   }
}

Client.scala

import scala.actors.Actor._
import scala.actors.remote.Node
import scala.actors.remote.RemoteActor._

object Client extends Application {
    override def main(args: Array[String]) {
        if (args.length < 1) {
            println("Usage: scala Client [msg]")
            return
        }

        actor {
            val remoteActor = select(Node("localhost", 9010), 'myName)

            remoteActor !? args(0) match {
                case msg => println( "Server's response is [" + msg + "]" )
            }
        }
    }
}

Command line:

rm *.class && scalac *.scala  && scala EchoServer

And in other terminal:

scala Client hello

You need to set the classloader on the remote actors.

Before the act() method, add the line:

RemoteActor.classLoader = getClass.getClassLoader

Why is setting the classloader necessary with Scala RemoteActors?
