* Fixed obvious
* Created tickets for several, #1408, #1409, #1410, #1412, #1415, 1416, #1418
* Moved LoggingReceive from akka.actor to akka.event
* Touched several of the FIXME to make them visible in code review
* Split config reference to one for each module/extension.
* Adjusted signature of registerExtension to avoid race of extension init
* Moved Duration.dilated to testkit
* TestKitExtension
* RemoteExtension
* SerializationExtension
* Durable mailboxes extensions
* Fixed broken serialization bindings and added test
* Updated configuration documentation
* System properties akka.remote.hostname akka.remote.port replaced with akka.remote.server.hostname and akka.remote.server.port
* Adjustments of ActorSystem initialization. Still don't like the two-phase constructor/init flow. Very fragile for changes.
Review fixes. SerializationExtension
- ensure that no “complex” things are attached to a LogEvent (think
serialization)
- ensure no escaping the “this” reference via LoggingBus during
constructors (e.g. ActorSystem)
- change it so that
+ Actor/ActorRef are represented by their address
+ Class[_] by simpleName
+ String by itself
- this means that people need to think a little more while deciding how
“this” should look like in logging (which I think is a good thing)
* All default values removed from code and loaded from akka-actor-reference.conf, located in src/main/resources (included in jar)
* Default test configuration included in AkkaSpec instead of using akka.test.conf, avoids problems when running test (in IDE) and forgetting to use -Dakka.mode=test.
* System.properties used first, if availble
* Next step will be to split akka-actor-reference.conf in separate -reference for each module
- create ActorSystemImpl trait to make ActorSystem fully abstract
- add Java API for constructing (ActorSystem.create(...))
- only go through factory methods because .start() has become necessary
- rename all user-facing occurrences of “app” to “system” (Actor trait
and TestKit/AkkaSpec)
- pass ActorSystemImpl to ActorRefs upon creation, which means that
actorOf() and friends need such an argument, which must be provided to
the ActorRefProvider by the ActorRefFactory implementation
- remove Props.randomName and associated logic
- ActorRefFactory contains AtomicLong which is used to generate unique
children names
- base64-like encoding is used with reverse “digit” order
- disallow given names which are null, empty or start with ‘$’
- random names start have ‘$’ prepended (‘$’ not being one of the 64
characters)
- special marker “$_” for tempPath until “/tmp” supervisor is introduced
- TestActorRef uses globally unique “$$” prefix, as it creates actors
beneath any supervisor as instructed by the user
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
