How would you call a life-cycle management class?

Question

Hi, The title pretty much says it all, as an example you can think of a hibernate transaction and a class which begins one for a thread, commits and rollbacks, Or a class which gets a session, closes it and flushes it (both examples are with the threadlocal pattern in mind).

Thanks
