Hmmm I find "Manager" even more banal (and overloaded)
than "Session". Anyway the Hibernate Session doesn't
seem to me to fit the description of "Manager" (which
carries connotations of singleton-ness and long
lifespan-ness).

And ages ago I made the choice not to design a=20
persistence layer where every class name would
be prefixed with "Persistence" or "Persistent" or
"Database" or "DB"..... ;) Ditto for=20
"HibernateSession", HibernateSessionFactory", etc.
I'm in favor of short, snappy names.

If we would be going to change the name (which I am
vetoing a priori), I would probably prefer to go
for something like "Work". Unfortunately work is
used as a verb more commonly than it is used as
a noun, so it sounds kinda wierd.

what, like "makePersistentAll()"?=20

j/k ;)

Its down to taste, I suppose...
