/**
 * 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.
