+ *  @file    Server_Main.h
+ *
+ *  $Id$
+ *
+ *  Declares a generic object that acts as "main" for a CORBA server.
+ *  @author Dale Wilson <wilson_d@ociweb.com>
+ *
+ *  This object supports creation of a relatively simple CORBA server.
+ *  The object implements "main" for a process.
+ *  A single servant is created and initialized as the process begins
+ *  execution.  The lifetime of this initial servant is the lifetime of
+ *  the process.
+ *  The servant is free to create other servants as necessary.
+ *  The servant can capture command line options.
+ *  A callback method in the ORB event loop allows the servant to act
+ *  asynchronously if necessary.
+ *  The callback method allows the servant to request process termination
+ *  and specify the status to be returned from the process.
+ *
+ *  The application should create a C/C++ main that looks something like:
+ *    #include <tao/Utils/Server_Main.h>
+ *    #include "Xyzzy_i.h"
+ *    int ACE_TMAIN (int argc, ACE_TCHAR *argv[])
+ *    {
+ *      Server_Main<Xyzzy_i> servant ("Xyzzy");
+ *      return servant.run(argc, argv);
+ *    }
+ *
+ *  The servant implementation (Xyzzy_i in this case) must implement
+ *  the following methods:
+ *      Xyzzy_i (); // null constructor
+ *      ~Xyzzy_i (); // destructor
+ *      int parse_args (int argc, char * argv[]);
+ *      int init (CORBA::ORB_ptr orb );
+ *      int idle(int &result);
+ *      int fini (void);
+ *      const char * identity () const;
+ *
+ *      parse_args, self_register, self_unregister return 0 if ok, nonzero for error.
+ *      idle returns 0 to continue execution; nonzero to exit -- returning "result" from the process
+ *      identity provides a string to identify this servant in log messages.
+ *
