public interface ConnectableActor extends Serializable
Created by ruedi on 18/05/15. Describes a connectable remote or local actor. (implementations hold technical details such as host port etc.) To connect to a remote actor usually a connector is configured, then calling connect returns the reference to the remote actor. In peer to peer actor remoting model, this can be passed around (over network) in order to tellMsg other actors/services on how to connect a certain actor directly (e.g. a Service Registry would pass ConnectableActors to clients).
