Transaction control is usually done at the connection level.
This implies that concurrent (unsynchronized) threads must not share
the same connection (as otherwise "commit/rollback" in one thread
will affect the other (unaware) thread).

When you put a connection in a session, there is no garantee
that two threads (belonging to the same session, e.g.
handling different requests from a frame based appliciation)
do not share the same connection.
Unless appropriate synchronisation is used, non-deterministic
transaction behaviour may be the consequence.
