Description

Two use cases envisaged:
1. profiling of the application
2. as a handle for long-running async calls. Can envisage a contributed collection that would list long-running async calls associated with a persisted Interaction.

The request-scoped InteractionContext provides context information to the caller. By default this is an in-memory representation, discarded once done.

The complementary InteractionFactory interface allows the instantiationof the Interaction to be delegated. So the other part of this ticket is a JDO implementation allowing the Interactions to be persisted and thereby queried.

With this done, any action invocation will also be recorded as a persisted Interaction object.
