Class ExtendedActorSystem

java.lang.Object
  extended by akka.actor.ActorSystem
      extended by akka.actor.ExtendedActorSystem
All Implemented Interfaces:
ActorRefFactory

public abstract class ExtendedActorSystem
extends ActorSystem

More powerful interface to the actor system’s implementation which is presented to extensions (see Extension).

Important Notice:

This class is not meant to be extended by user code. If you want to actually roll your own Akka, beware that you are completely on your own in that case!

public abstract akka.actor.InternalActorRef systemGuardian()
The top-level supervisor of all system-internal services like logging.


threadFactory

public abstract java.util.concurrent.ThreadFactory threadFactory()
A ThreadFactory that can be used if the transport needs to create any Threads


dynamicAccess

public abstract DynamicAccess dynamicAccess()
ClassLoader wrapper which is used for reflective accesses internally. This is set to use the context class loader, if one is set, or the class loader which loaded the ActorSystem implementation. The context class loader is also set on all threads created by the ActorSystem, if one was set during creation.
