/**
 * Defines the contract for implementations which know how to scope the notion
 * of a {@link org.hibernate.SessionFactory#getCurrentSession() current session}.
 * <p/>
 * Implementations should adhere to the following:
 * <ul>
 * <li>contain a constructor accepting a single argument of type
 * {@link org.hibernate.engine.spi.SessionFactoryImplementor}
 * <li>should be thread safe
 * <li>should be fully serializable
 * </ul>
 * <p/>
 * Implementors should be aware that they are also fully responsible for
 * cleanup of any generated current-sessions.
 * <p/>
 * Note that there will be exactly one instance of the configured
 * CurrentSessionContext implementation per {@link org.hibernate.SessionFactory}.
