Problems with referencing a remote actor

Question

I have a play framework that uses the play actor integration to reference and communicate with a remote akka system. Looks like I am not getting the remote referencing right. First the remote akka implements the bootable interface and It has a master node that creates a child actor system.
the play actor system then references the remote system. the code snippets are presented below.

this is the Play framework node that creates the local actor system

 public void connectMaster (final String classname)
 {  
     localActor.tell(classname);

 }

 public  void connectMaster ()
 {  
     //localActor.tell(getByte(new Coordinates()));
 }


 public void connectMaster (final WebSocket.In<JsonNode> in, final WebSocket.Out<JsonNode> out )
 {        
         in.onMessage(new Callback<JsonNode>() {
     public void invoke(JsonNode event) throws JsonParseException, JsonMappingException, IOException {                 

    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();               

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        Map<String,ArrayList<Object>> jsonMap = mapper.readValue(event, Map.class); 
    GesturePoints gp = new GesturePoints();

    gp.setPoints(jsonMap);
    localActor.tell(gp);            
     }
  });     } 

this is the local Actor system in play framework

package controllers;

import Com.RubineEngine.GesturePoints.*;

import akka.actor.ActorRef;
import akka.actor.UntypedActor;
import akka.event.Logging;
import akka.event.LoggingAdapter;

public class LocalActor extends UntypedActor {

     /**
     * 
     */

    ActorRef masterActor; // = getContext().actorFor("akka://MasterNode@127.0.0.1:2552/user/masterActor");
     LoggingAdapter log = Logging.getLogger(getContext().system(), this);

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Object arg) throws Exception {
        System.out.println(" Local Actor 1");
          if(arg instanceof GesturePoints)
         {  System.out.println(" local Actor 2");
              masterActor.tell(arg , getSelf());    
              System.out.println(" Local Actor 3");}    
         else 
         {unhandled(arg);}
    }


    public void preStart()
    {
      masterActor = getContext().actorFor("akka://MasterNode@127.0.0.1:2552/user/masterActor");
    }

}

this is the remote akka system master Node that creates the master actor

package Rubine_Cluster;

import java.util.Arrays;

import com.typesafe.config.ConfigFactory;

import akka.actor.ActorRef;
import akka.actor.ActorSystem;
import akka.actor.Props;
import akka.kernel.Bootable;

/**
 * Hello world!
 *
 */
public class MasterNode implements Bootable
{
     final ActorSystem system;
     ActorRef masterActor;

      public MasterNode() {

        //Create a child actor of this actor upon initialization 
        system = ActorSystem.create("MasterNode", ConfigFactory.load()
            .getConfig("masterNode"));
         masterActor = system.actorOf(new Props(MasterActor.class),"masterActor");  

      }


      public void startup() {

      }

          public void shutdown() {
            system.shutdown();
          }
}  

this is the remote actor system created by the MasterNode

public class MasterActor extends UntypedActor {

    /**
     * 
     */

    ActorSystem system = ActorSystem.create("container");

    ActorRef worker1;

    //public MasterActor(){}

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Object message) throws Exception {
        System.out.println(" Master Actor 5");

         if(message instanceof GesturePoints)
         {  //GesturePoints gp = (GesturePoints) message;
              System.out.println(" Master Actor 1");             
         try {      worker1.tell(message, getSelf());

             System.out.println(" Master Actor 2");
                } catch (Exception e) {
                  getSender().tell(new akka.actor.Status.Failure(e), getSelf());
                  throw e;
                }

    }
         else{ unhandled(message);}
  }  

    public void preStart()
    {
      worker1 = getContext().actorFor("akka://WorkerNode@127.0.0.1:2553/user/workerActor");
    }

}

I think I got the referencing wrong or probably were to send the message any suggestion is welcome
