[Pljava-dev] Best way to pass intermediate state

[Thomas Hallgren]

Take a look at whats offered by the 
org.postgresql.pljava.SessionManager. It has a static method that 
returns a Session object. This object can store arbitrary objects as 
attributes. The difference between the Session and a normal Map, is that 
the stuff stored in the Session is under transaction control. A rollback 
disregards changes made since last commit. The Session object will also 
allow you to add listeners for transactions and savepoints.

Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
