/**
* A BAM Actor sends and receives messages as the core class in a
* service-oriented architecture.
*
* Core API
*
* Each actor has a unique address, which is the address for messages sent to
* the actor. addresss look like email addresses: [email protected]
* or [email protected]/browser.
*
* {@link com.caucho.bam.stream.MessageStream} is the key customizable interface
* for an agent developer. Developers will implement callbacks for each
* packet type the agent understands.
*
* Most developers will extend from {@link com.caucho.bam.actor.SimpleActor}
* instead of implementing Actor directly. SimpleActor adds an
* annotation-based message dispatching system to simplify Actor development.
