I am trying to understand the Context Lifecycle events and how I can use 
them.  Using the onAcquire/onRelease/onCreate methods seems simple 
enough but I am confused as to when they are actually called.  So I was 
wondering if someone could help me fill in the blanks here for the 
different cases:

Within a JSP Page:
onAcquire - called at the beginning of the scope (page, request, etc)
onRelease - called at the end of the scope (page, request, etc)
onCreate - called when the control is initialized at the beginning of a 
a new scope???

Within a Controller:
onAcquire - called once when first used??
onRelease - called when the application exits??
onCreate - called once when first initialized??

Within another Control:
onAcquire/onRelease/onCreate: called whenever the parent control's 
lifecycle methods are called

I'm trying to figure out where I can put a control so it receives the 
lifecycle events for the page request to manage hibernate 
sessions/transactions, and from the above it looks like within the JSP 
page itself is my only choice.

Thanks,
- Dan
