Interface ActorSystemMessage

public interface ActorSystemMessage
This interface aims to provide the same information Message does. The point here is to allow thinner clients to interface with actor system without having to create classes for each message type.

Classes implementing this interface should not be annotation with Message If it is, the values provided by the Message annotation will take precedence over the ones provided by the object.
