  * making service requests.
  *
  * <P>The <CODE>TopicRequestor</CODE> constructor is given a non-transacted 
  * <CODE>TopicSession</CODE> and a destination <CODE>Topic</CODE>. It creates a 
  * <CODE>TemporaryTopic</CODE> for the responses and provides a 
  * <CODE>request</CODE> method that sends the request message and waits 
  * for its reply.
  *
  * <P>This is a basic request/reply abstraction that should be sufficient 
  * for most uses. JMS providers and clients are free to create more 
  * sophisticated versions.
