class ACE_CLASSIX_CLD_Connector
    // = TITLE
    //     Defines an CLASSIX IPC connectionless connection factory for the
    //     template methods in <ACE_Connector>.
    //
    // = DESCRIPTION
    //     This is used when a client needs to communicate with a server
    //     whose SAP address is known beforehand.
    //
    //     Although there is a connection
    //     procedure, no connection is actually taken place
    //     between the client and server, since Chorus IPC does not have
    //     connection semantics.
    //     The connect procedure is necessary for
    //     compatibility with <ACE_SOCK_Connector> class.
    //
    //     This class will simplify the client's
    //     program, since it provides connection-like communication
    //     mechanism.
    //
    // = NOTES
    //     The server in this case trusts everyone who lands on the
    //     server's SAP.
    //
    // = SEE ALSO
    //   ACE_CLASSIX_COD_Connector
