[Bjørn Skogseth (JIRA)]

StatelessSession should have an isOpen() method
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-2949
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2949
             Project: Hibernate3
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 3.2.5, 3.1.3
         Environment: Hibernate 3.1.3 (also affects 3.2.5 i believe), DB2 version 8
            Reporter: Bjørn Skogseth
            Priority: Minor


StatelessSession.close() throws an exception if called multiple times on the same instance, just as Session.close() does. However, as the interface does not have an isOpen() method, there is no way to check if the call is safe. This means that in code where you don't know if the session has been closed properly, but just want to make sure it is closed, you have to wrap the close() call in a try/catch block and then ignore any SessionException that is thrown by the close method. Alternatively one can cast the instance to StatelessSessionImpl and then call the isOpen method there, which is public. Neither of these solutions are satisfactory.

To resolve this, I suggest that the isOpen() method is added to the StatelessSession interface.
