as(...) is on Session though. What I am talking about is what happens
when they *somehow* get a normal Session and call session.as(
FullTextSession.class ) ?
e.g.
fullTextSession.getSessionFactory()
.openSession()
.as( FullTextSession.class );
Now what?
I guess this really gets to the intent of as(...).
Like I can see the usefulness of "light binding" the notions of a
Session and a FullTextSession (not so sure wrt AuditReader, I'd have to
understand the relation there a little better) such that the following
is valid:
normalHibernateSessionFactory.openSession()
.as( FullTextSession.class )
.<handle yo search biz>()
But there are a lot of implications there. Like we need to be able to
make the SessionFactory aware of the other "sub factories" and track the
"sub sessions" per Session (lazily!).
Heck, I would *love* to see:
normalHibernateSessionFactory.openSession()
.as( EntityManager.class )
...

The entry points for Search are two:
- the session *EventListener(s) (only one instance, but listening to
multiple types of events)
- the FullTextSession
A FullTextSession needs a reference to the current session, and a
reference to the SearchFactoryImplementor, which is the heavy-weight
global component, similar to a SessionFactory.
Currently a FullTextSession implements Session and is created from the
Session it wraps using a static helper which searches for it's own
PostInsertEventListener in the Session itself, from which it takes a
reference to the needed SearchFactoryImplementor.
I would be a nice improvement if the "as( FullTextSession.class )"
implementation could retrieve the SearchFactoryImplementor from the
ServiceRegistry instead.
In pseudo code, the "as" implementation for search would look like something
as:
FullTextSession createFullTextSession() {
return new FullTextSession( Session current, serviceRegistry.get(
SearchFactoryImplementor.class ) );
}
(or even simpler if SessionImplementor makes it possible to retrieve services )
