/**
* The main runtime interface between a Java application and Hibernate. This is the
* central API class abstracting the notion of a persistence service.<br>
* <br>
* The lifecycle of a <tt>Session</tt> is bounded by the beginning and end of a logical
* transaction. (Long transactions might span several database transactions.)<br>
* <br>
* The main function of the <tt>Session</tt> is to offer create, read and delete operations
* for instances of mapped entity classes. Instances may exist in one of three states:<br>
* <br>
* <i>transient:</i> never persistent, not associated with any <tt>Session</tt><br>
* <i>persistent:</i> associated with a unique <tt>Session</tt><br>
* <i>detached:</i> previously persistent, not associated with any <tt>Session</tt><br>
* <br>
* Transient instances may be made persistent by calling <tt>save()</tt>,
* <tt>persist()</tt> or <tt>saveOrUpdate()</tt>. Persistent instances may be made transient
* by calling<tt> delete()</tt>. Any instance returned by a <tt>get()</tt> or
* <tt>load()</tt> method is persistent. Detached instances may be made persistent
* by calling <tt>update()</tt>, <tt>saveOrUpdate()</tt>, <tt>lock()</tt> or <tt>replicate()</tt>.
* The state of a transient or detached instance may also be made persistent as a new
* persistent instance by calling <tt>merge()</tt>.<br>
* <br>
* <tt>save()</tt> and <tt>persist()</tt> result in an SQL <tt>INSERT</tt>, <tt>delete()</tt>
* in an SQL <tt>DELETE</tt> and <tt>update()</tt> or <tt>merge()</tt> in an SQL <tt>UPDATE</tt>.
* Changes to <i>persistent</i> instances are detected at flush time and also result in an SQL
* <tt>UPDATE</tt>. <tt>saveOrUpdate()</tt> and <tt>replicate()</tt> result in either an
* <tt>INSERT</tt> or an <tt>UPDATE</tt>.<br>
* <br>
* It is not intended that implementors be threadsafe. Instead each thread/transaction
* should obtain its own instance from a <tt>SessionFactory</tt>.<br>
* <br>
* A <tt>Session</tt> instance is serializable if its persistent classes are serializable.<br>
* <br>
* A typical transaction should use the following idiom:
* <pre>
* Session sess = factory.openSession();
* Transaction tx;
* try {
* tx = sess.beginTransaction();
* //do some work
* ...
* tx.commit();
* }
* catch (Exception e) {
* if (tx!=null) tx.rollback();
* throw e;
* }
* finally {
* sess.close();
* }
* </pre>
* <br>
* If the <tt>Session</tt> throws an exception, the transaction must be rolled back
* and the session discarded. The internal state of the <tt>Session</tt> might not
* be consistent with the database after the exception occurs.
