Tips on MyBatis

Thread-safety of SqlSession

Two main implementation of SqlSession interface have opposite semantics in thread-safety.
org.apache.ibatis.session.defaults.DefaultSqlSession is not thread-safe and so should not be shared among threads. But, org.mybatis.spring.SqlSessionTemplate provided to used with Spring framework is thread-safe.

Two implementations can not replace each other. So, the POJO into which SqlSessionTemplate is expected to be injected by Spring IoC container will not work correctly with other implementation of SqlSession in non-Spring environment. Can this be called POJO ?

I think this is somewhat confusing feature. I'm not sure thead-safety is dealt with interface scope of respective implmentation scope. SqlSession is in the heart of MyBatis, and so it seems desirable to have more clear semantics.
