Interface CurrentSessionContext

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

JTASessionContext, ManagedSessionContext, ThreadLocalSessionContext

public interface CurrentSessionContext
extends Serializable

Defines the contract for implementations which know how to scope the notion of a current session.

Implementations should adhere to the following:

• contain a constructor accepting a single argument of type SessionFactoryImplementor
• should be thread safe
• should be fully serializable

Implementors should be aware that they are also fully responsible for cleanup of any generated current-sessions.

Note that there will be exactly one instance of the configured CurrentSessionContext implementation per SessionFactory.
