[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-2387) bring back Session's method reconnect()

bring back Session's method reconnect() --------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2387 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2387 Project: Hibernate3 Type: Improvement

Reporter: Dmitry

Currently Session.reconnect() is deprecated as "manual reconnection is only needed in the case of application-supplied connections, in which case the reconnect(java.sql.Connection) for should be used". There are cases other than using application-supplied connections when this method seems to be useful. For example, with ZK framework (an Ajax-based presentation tier framework) it is possible to suspend a server thread until a modal window is closed by the end user. It would be nice to have a possibility not to close thread-bound Session during the thread suspension period - rather disconnect() it, reconnect()ing it subsequently after thread resumes. This would leave Session cache untouched during thread suspension.
