Class DetachmentContextHolder

java.lang.Object
  org.acegisecurity.domain.dao.DetachmentContextHolder

public class DetachmentContextHolder
extends Object

InheritableThreadLocal which indicates whether a Dao implementation should be forced to return a detached instance.

A detached instance is one which is no longer associated with the ORM mapper and changes will therefore not be transparently persisted to the database.

Not all Dao implementations support the concept of detached instances.
