// = DESCRIPTION
//    This program tests an implementation of a logger service.  It uses the
//    Logger_Factory server to create a number of logger objects.  It then
//    uses their object references to test functions supported by the
//    logger server.

class Logger_Client 
  // = TITLE
  //    Defines a class that encapsulates behaviour of the Logger client
  //    example.  Provides a better understanding of the logic in an 
  //    object oriented way.
  //
  // = DESCRIPTION
  //    This class declares an interface to run the example client for
  //    Logger CORBA server.  All the complexity for initializing the 
  //    server is hidden in the class.  Just the run() interface is needed.
