/**
* Implementation of org.eclipse.persistence.sessions.Session
* The public interface should be used.
* @see org.eclipse.persistence.sessions.Session
*
* <p>
* <b>Purpose</b>: Define the interface and common protocol of an EclipseLink compliant session.
* <p>
* <b>Description</b>: The session is the primary interface into EclipseLink,
* the application should do all of its reading and writing of objects through the session.
* The session also manages transactions and units of work.  Normally the session
* is passed and used by the application controller objects.  Controller objects normally
* sit behind the GUI and perform the business processes required for the application,
* they should perform all explicit database access and database access should be avoided from
* the domain object model.  Do not use a globally accessible session instance, doing so does
* not allow for multiple sessions.  Multiple sessions may required when performing things like
* data migration or multiple database access, as well the unit of work feature requires the usage
* of multiple session instances.  Although session is abstract, any users of its subclasses
* should only cast the variables to Session to allow usage of any of its subclasses.
* <p>
* <b>Responsibilities</b>:
*    <ul>
*    <li> Connecting/disconnecting.
*    <li> Reading and writing objects.
*    <li> Transaction and unit of work support.
*    <li> Identity maps and caching.
*    </ul>
* @see DatabaseSessionImpl
