 *  Example usage of the API:  
 *  @code
 *  Header file:
 *   
 *  // Launching can be done without MCCAObserver-interface,
 *  // then the iConnection can be closed in destructor etc when
 *  // CCApplication is already closed
 *  class CMyClass : public CBase, public MCCAObserver
 *  {
 *  ...
 *  MCCAConnection* iConnection;
 *  };
 *
 *  
 *  Source file:
 *  ...
 *  // Launch the CCApplication  
 *  MCCAParameter* parameter = TCCAFactory::NewParameterL();
 *  CleanupClosePushL( *parameter );
 *  // prepare parameter here (see details from the header)
 *  if ( !iConnection )
 *      {// get connection
 *      iConnection = TCCAFactory::NewConnectionL();
 *      }
 *  // note; there can be only one CCApplication instance
 *  // running simultaneously per iConnection
 *  iConnection->LaunchAppL( *parameter );
 *  OR
 *  iConnection->LaunchAppL( *parameter, this );
 *  CleanupStack::Pop();// parameter is taken care by iConnection
 *  ...
 *  ~CMyClass::CMyClass()
 *  {
 *  ...
 *  if ( iConnection )
 *      {// close connection
 *      iConnection->Close();
 *      }
 *  } 
 *  ...
 *  // If MCCAObserver-interface is used, it could be implemented like this
 *  void CMyClass::CCASimpleNotifyL( TNotifyType aType, TInt aReason )
 *  {
 *  // check the condition of aReason here if needed
 *  if ( MCCAObserver::EExitEvent == aType )
 *      {
 *      // Calling Close() for iConnection will close the running 
 *      // CCApplication, so be careful when using it
 *      if ( iConnection )
 *          {
 *          iConnection->Close();
