In JPA and other Java specs, there is a pattern emerging where one could unwrap
some objects from a common API
interface EntityManager {
T unwrap(Class<T> type);
}
We typically let a Session be extracted from an EntityManager
Session session = entityManager.unwrap(Session.class);
I wonder if we want do provide a possibility for third party Hibernate
integrators to let some objects be unwrapped.
FullTextSession ftSession = session.unwrap(FullTextSession.class);
//the current approach is via some static helper method
//FullTextSession ftSession = Search.getFullTextSession(session);
That would mean that the integration point between HSearch and Hibernate would
have an unwrap method and Hibernate would delegate the unwrap calls to each
integrator until a non null object is returned.
It's just a thought, WDYT?
