Add getCurrentSession(Map) method to pass options to custom implementations
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: HHH-1955
         URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1955
     Project: Hibernate3
        Type: New Feature

  Components: documentation, core  
    Reporter: Christian Bauer
    Priority: Minor


There are a few borderline usecases in HibernateTemplate that can be implemented with CurrentSessionContext ("enable query caching for all queries from this Session", "Enable flushmode by default", etc.). 

If I want to implement this right now without HibernateTemplate, I'd write a CurrentSessionContext that does the magic before returning a Session (e.g. set a flushmode). This is more difficult if you want to have one CurrentSessionContext that can do several things (like proxy a Session so that all queries are cachable, enable a flushmode when the session is opened, etc.) - you'd need a way to pass some arguments into the SF-scoped CSC. Instead of threadlocals I'd say we should provide an overloaded getCurrentSession(Map) so that any implementor can handle a custom set of parameters.

Not sure this is a good idea, because all the use cases that have been named so far are theoretical and are extremely unlikely to happen in practice. However, they are used for the marketing of the HibernateTemplate.
