    • getMemberServerSession

      ServerSession getMemberServerSession(Class<?> cls)
      Return the member ServerSession that maps cls in session broker. Return null if either not a session broker or cls is not mapped. Session broker implement composite persistence unit.
    • getMemberSessionName

    • isBroker

      boolean isBroker()
      Indicates whether the underlying session is a session broker. Session broker implement composite persistence unit.
    • getUnitOfWork

      UnitOfWork getUnitOfWork()
      This method will return the transactional UnitOfWork during the transaction and null outside of the transaction.
    • getSession

    • load

      void load(Object entityOrEntities, AttributeGroup group)
      This method will load the passed entity or collection of entities using the passed AttributeGroup. In case of collection all members should be either entities of the same type or have a common inheritance hierarchy mapped root class. The AttributeGroup should correspond to the entity type.
    • copy

      Object copy(Object entityOrEntities, AttributeGroup group)
