* Provides callbacks from the Session to the persistent object.
* Persistent classes may implement this interface but they are not
* required to.
*
* onSave: called just before the object is saved
* onUpdate: called just before an object is updated,
* ie. when Session.update() is called
* onDelete: called just before an object is deleted
* onLoad: called just after an object is loaded
*
* onLoad() may be used to initialize transient properties of the
* object from its persistent state. It may not be used to load
* dependent objects since the Session interface may not be
* invoked from inside this method.
*
* A further intended usage of onLoad(), onSave() and
* onUpdate() is to store a reference to the Session
* for later use.
*
* If onSave(), onUpdate() or onDelete() return
* VETO, the operation is silently vetoed. If a
* CallbackException is thrown, the operation is vetoed and the
* exception is passed back to the application.
*
* Note that onSave() is called after an identifier is assigned
* to the object, except when identity column key generation is used.
