Which of these best fits AuditLogInterceptor pattern ? i.e. where you want the same connection
as a session but do not wish to "pollute" the session with entities/state concerning the auditlog entries ?

None of them seem to allow for that as far as I can see ?

They either use different session or have a limited lifecycle not permitting keeping a second session 
around for lookup/state ?

Am I missing something ?
