IAbstractSession.Start Method

IAbstractSessionStart Method

Issues a blocking call to start the session.

A SESSION_STATUS event may be published containing a message with the result of the request. If the session was started successfully a "SessionStarted" message will be generated. If the start failed a "SessionStartupFailure" message may be generated.

Note: If this is an asynchronous session then the SESSION_STATUS event may be processed by the registered EventHandler before this method has returned. If this session is using an external EventDispatcher it should be already started.

A session must only be started once.
