as(...) is on Session though. What I am talking about is what happens
when they *somehow* get a normal Session and call session.as(
FullTextSession.class ) ?
e.g.
fullTextSession.getSessionFactory()
.openSession()
.as( FullTextSession.class );
Now what?
I guess this really gets to the intent of as(...).
Like I can see the usefulness of "light binding" the notions of a
Session and a FullTextSession (not so sure wrt AuditReader, I'd have to
understand the relation there a little better) such that the following
is valid:
normalHibernateSessionFactory.openSession()
.as( FullTextSession.class )
.<handle yo search biz>()
But there are a lot of implications there. Like we need to be able to
make the SessionFactory aware of the other "sub factories" and track the
"sub sessions" per Session (lazily!).
Heck, I would *love* to see:
normalHibernateSessionFactory.openSession()
.as( EntityManager.class )
...
