* Deprecate all actorFor methods
* resolveActorRef in provider
* Identify auto receive message
* Support ActorPath in actorSelection
* Support remote actor selections
* Additional tests of actor selection
* Update tests (keep most actorFor tests)
* Update samples to use actorSelection
* Updates to documentation
* Migration guide, including motivation
- it’s a completely new-written thing in pure Java, so that “protected”
modifiers actually work and no ghost errors appear wrt. inheriting
from PartialFunction or similar
- it also features integration with the EventFilter
- all closure-based constructs are modeled as inner classes of the
JavaTestKit, where the user needs to override a single method which
will then be executed
* Added JavaActorContext, UntypedActor.getContext
* implicit val context in Actor needs to be implicit to support forward,
it would be nice if it wasn't implicit because now I can't override context
in UntypedActor
* Removed implicit def system in Actor
* Removed implicit def defaultTimeout in Actor
* Removed receiveTimeout, children, dispatcher, become, unbecome, watch,
unwatch in Actor
* Removed corresponding as above from UntypedActor
* Removed implicit from dispatcher in ActorSystem
* Removed implicit def timeout in TypedActor
* Changed receiveTimeout to use Duration (in api)
* Changed many tests and samples to match new api
BalancingDispatcherModelSpec is currently broken, leaves count==1 in
wavesOfActors test, committed anyway in order to check out where it
broke before this merge
most tests passing, everything compiling, but docs not updated and nasty
thread-leak preventing me from running the whole test-suite (which is
the reason for this commit: I want to chase down that one first).
- the app.mainbus is classified by Class[_] (currently lookup, will
possibly change to sub-class-aware) and accepts AnyRef messages
- LoggingBus handles akka.event-handlers from config specially:
+ start them as system services, supervised by SystemGuardian
+ keep their subscriptions in sync when logLevel_= is called
+ send them InitializeLogger(bus) message before subscribing them (so
they can register for extras like Mute/UnMute)
- two-phased start-up: first phase with actor-less stdout logging, then
subscription of config loggers, then remove stdout logger (logLevels
configurable separately)
- MainBusReaper watches registered receivers and unsubscribes them upon
death (started in phase 2)
- logger factory on Logging object, needs app/bus and log source;
default instance in app.log
- remove global Config
- pull everything which depended on it into new AkkaApplication
- leave EventHandler alone for the moment: that evil sucker gets his
very own AkkaApplication("akka-reference.conf") until we have settled
on an acceptable logging API without globals
- make akka-actor and akka-testkit compile
- TestKit uses implicit AkkaApplication passing for maximum convenience
- Actor object nearly completely removed, actor creation possible via
ActorRefFactory interface which is implemented by AkkaApplication and
ActorContext
- serialization of ActorRef is probably broken, and so is the reflective
RemoteSupport (now needs AkkaApplication constructor arg)
- everything else is still broken, including akka-actor-tests, so this
is of course all not runtime-tested
