    public abstract class ConnectedServiceBase
extends java.lang.Object
    An abstract base class, extend this class if your common needs to open a connection to the virtual center server before it can do anything useful.

    Example: The simplest possible extension class merely forms a connection and specifies it's own common action. 

     @Sample(name = "connect")
 public class Connect extends ConnectedServiceBase {
    @Action
    public void action() {
       System.out.println("currently connected: " + this.isConnected());
    }
 }

    This is provided as an alternative to extending the Connection class directly.

    For a very simple connected sample:
