public abstract class RoutingActor
extends Actor
implements DispatchTarget

An Actor that receives targeted JSON messages over its connection.

This class is abstract, in that its implementation of the MessageHandler interface is incomplete: it implements the processMessage() method, but subclasses must implement connectionDied() method (as well as any JSONMethod methods for whatever specific object behavior the subclass is intended for).
