With free-form we can start addressing CRUD (or
more evolved) REST (micro)services implementations written in Java as long
as we offer a “manual” but simpler integration when the datasource is a user
code and not ORM or Infinispan. We would need to

1. create the notion of “session” (independent of ORM)
2. make it a bit simpler to write code like the event listeners (maybe the session contract hosting index and purge would be enough)
3. offer an off the shelves query implementation that would only need to receive the object loader contract to read data from that manual source
