 * Inspection occurs before property values are written and after they are read
 * from the database.<br>
 * <br>
 * There might be a single instance of <tt>Interceptor</tt> for a <tt>SessionFactory</tt>, or a new instance
 * might be specified for each <tt>Session</tt>. Whichever approach is used, the interceptor must be
 * serializable if the <tt>Session</tt> is to be serializable. This means that <tt>SessionFactory</tt>-scoped
 * interceptors should implement <tt>readResolve()</tt>.<br>
 * <br>
 * The <tt>Session</tt> may not be invoked from a callback (nor may a callback cause a collection or proxy to
 * be lazily initialized).<br>
 * <br>
 * Instead of implementing this interface directly, it is usually better to extend <tt>EmptyInterceptor</tt>
 * and override only the callback methods of interest.
