- it is customary to use class name for categorizing logs, hence we
should support it; class is taken from logSource.getClass
- update SLF4J module to use logClass as category and set logSource in
MDC "akkaSource"
- add docs
- replace ActorRef.stop() by ActorRefFactory.stop(child) everywhere
- ActorCell “optimizes” this to remove the child from its childrenRefs
in order to allow immediate recycling of the name
- the lost soul must have a place, for which the Locker has been
created, where Davy Jones will happily rebind the soul to his ship
(i.e. set “parent” to the locker to avoid mem leak) and periodically
revisit it (.stop(), in case of that being lost in comm failure,
similar .watch() to re-check liveness)
* 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
- IAR is subclass of AR and SAR
- all concrete ARs implement IAR
- move sendSystemMessage to IAR
all in preparation for unifying the ActorPath look-up for local&remote
actor refs
- 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
(cascading into all dispatchers, mailboxes, other stuff; had to move
deadLetter stuff to ActorSystem again and split its initialization due
to cyclic dependency)
BalancingDispatcherModelSpec is currently broken, leaves count==1 in
wavesOfActors test, committed anyway in order to check out where it
broke before this merge
- make normal filters available for all four log levels
- allow filtering for
+ exact and complete message
+ start of message
+ regular expression
- keep count of occurrences if requested and verify correct count at end
of filterEvents/filterExceptions block
- remove akka.testkit.Testing (sleepFor replaced by Duration.dilated.sleep)
- remove Duration.timeFactor (needs config -> AkkaApplication)
- TestLatch needs config -> AkkaApplication (was forgotten because used
directly System.getProperty)
- lots of scaladoc for TestEventListener infrastructure
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
- every actor is now supervised, where the root of the tree is
app.guardian, which has its supervisor field set to a special ActorRef
obtained from provider.theOneWhoWalksTheBubblesOfSpaceTime (this name
is meant to indicate that this ref is outside of the universe, cf.
Michio Kaku)
- changed all tests to obtain specially supervised children (i.e. not
top-level) via (supervisor ? Props).as[ActorRef].get
- add private[akka] ScalaActorRef.sendSystemMessage for sending
Supervise()
- everything routing or remote is broken wrt. supervision, as that was
not “properly” implemented to begin with, will be tackled after
app/supervision/eventbus/AkkaSpec are stabilized enough
- add Logging trait for nicer interface
- add EventHandlerLogging class for offering the nice interface from
app.log
- add eventHandler instance to app and use that for all internal logging
(this means that some places (dispatchers, remoting) were infiltrated
by app just to do logging, but I think we'll need app in there soon
enough for other reasons)
- 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
