Description

Allow a web application to attach a DataContext to the thread of the client request instead of the HttpSession. Helps in the seperation of the DAO and Controller layer. Also, helps when implementing frozen DAO APIs that do not allow for HttpSessions to be passed along in the request.

This was discussed in the mailinglist in a few threads:
