Re: [hibernate-dev] Session opening

RE: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2860 This dealt with cleaning up all the overloaded openSession methods from SessionFactory and SessionFactoryImplementor. The new main method for obtaining a Session is SessionFactory.withOptions() which returns a org.hibernate.SessionBuilder instance which can be used to specify the options with which you want the Session built by eventually calling openSession() on it. For example: Session session = sessionFactory .withOptions() .connection( someConnection ) .openSession(); The only prior form I left is openSession() There is also a means to create a Session using certain information from an existing session using Session.sessionWithOptions() which returns a org.hibernate.SharedSessionBuilder (extending from SessionBuilder). As part of this I was also finally able to remove the long deprecated Session.connection() method since we now have doWork, doReturningWork and now session opening. Any questions or concerns?
