  // = 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.

  // Execute client example code.
