Yes. My reasoning on why this is better: If you have a threaded service, say HibernateSessionHolder, which has getSession() and setSession() methods, then you can make use of ServicePropertyFactory.
SPF can access the session proeprty of HibernateSessionHolder, to form a new service, HibernateSession ... whose interface is hibernate.Session. This hibernate.Session instance is a wrapper around your threaded holder service and, ultimately, the actual Session object. You can inject the HibernateSession service into your code directly. You can then access the Hibernate Session "normally" ... you don't have to de-reference through a holder service, or through a ThreadLocalMap or anything. This will clarify and simplify your code and make it easier to test (your only have to mock hibernate.Session, not ThreadLocalMap or any of the rest). The bridge service, created by SPF, isolates the service that is threaded from the other services, which can be ordinary singletons.
