[hibernate-dev] Session opening

[Steve Ebersole]

session.sessionWithOptions().connection().openSession()

says *exactly* what you just said: "open a session using the same connection 
as an existing session".

Like I said, I do not think that is enough as I think that if you get the 
connection, you also need the "transaction context" holding that connection.  
"transacvtion context" here is the TransactionCoordinator.

session.sessionWithOptions().transactionContext().openSession()
