Interface IAquimaSessionLifecycle

All Known Subinterfaces:
IAquimaSession
public interface IAquimaSessionLifecycle
Specifies the activation-passivation lifecycle for IAquimaSession instances.

Sessions have state and transient dependencies. When a session is serialized to a session store, only the state is serialized. When a session is deserialized from the session store, it is missing its transient dependencies and is unable to function correctly.

Passivation: This lifecycle phase allows a session to do any necessary cleanup before it is serialized. Once a session is passivated it should be considered invalid for further use until it is activated again. Under normal circumstances, passivation should be followed by serialization to a session store.

Activation: This lifecycle phase allows a session to restore its transient dependencies after having been deserialized from a session store. It is illegal to activate an already activated session. Under normal circumstances, deserialization should be followed by activation.
