Configuring akka serialization in Play 2.0 framework about config

[havocp]

"java.io.Serializable" = proto doesn't look right, it should be =${proto} with the ${} maybe?

You might try setting some other random thing in the config file (just make up a setting) that doesn't involve the SerializationExtension stuff, and be sure play.akka is even used. For example set play.akka.hello="Hi", then print context.system.settings.config.getString("akka.hello")

Thanks!! This was indeed simple ;)

Removing play {...} solves the issue, as follows:

akka { actor {
serializers { proto = "akka.serialization.ProtobufSerializer" }
serialization-bindings { "java.io.Serializable" = proto
"java.lang.String" = proto }
} }

This document should be updated : http://www.playframework.org/documentation/2.0/AkkaCore

This is kind of weird, I would expect that the play{} should be there. hard to debug without a full test case though.
I'm going to close the issue here because I don't think there's an action to take in the config lib code/docs (?) but it might be worth asking the Play guys what is going on, though sending them a small test app might be needed. Thanks
