/**
 * Interface that specifies a basic set of Hibernate operations,
 * implemented by {@link HibernateTemplate}. Not often used, but a useful
 * option to enhance testability, as it can easily be mocked or stubbed.
 *
 * <p>Defines {@code HibernateTemplate}'s data access methods that
 * mirror various {@link org.hibernate.Session} methods. Users are
 * strongly encouraged to read the Hibernate {@code Session} javadocs
 * for details on the semantics of those methods.
 *
 * <p>Note that operations that return an {@link java.util.Iterator} (i.e.
 * {@code iterate(..)}) are supposed to be used within Spring-driven
 * or JTA-driven transactions (with {@link HibernateTransactionManager},
 * {@link org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager},
 * or EJB CMT). Else, the {@code Iterator} won't be able to read
 * results from its {@link java.sql.ResultSet} anymore, as the underlying
 * Hibernate {@code Session} will already have been closed.
 *
 * <p>Note that lazy loading will just work with an open Hibernate
 * {@code Session}, either within a transaction or within
 * {@link org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter}/
 * {@link org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.OpenSessionInViewInterceptor}.
 * Furthermore, some operations just make sense within transactions,
 * for example: {@code contains}, {@code evict}, {@code lock},
 * {@code flush}, {@code clear}.
