Hi there (especially Christian),

I think we can work with explicits saves. In many cases the user won't 
have to worry about it anyway as the container object will do it for 
them (besides making the relation), or this 'query container' we spoke 
of will do it for them (but just the 'save' bit).

One point is that the scoped session approach itself doesn't work very 
well for using multiple databases in the same app. We could consider 
passing the session along in the containers during object graph wakling 
(or traversal) so an app can easily traverse into multiple databases. 
I'm not sure whether we can make the ORM do this for us though; does it 
initialize the mapping with a session?

Regards,

Martijn
