honeycomb: acquiring session not in a tapestry page

[bėgantis debesis]

Hi,
I started using honeycomb on my project as a tapestry/hibernate glue. Before
that, I just had a HibernateUtil with sessionFactory initialization and so
on..manual transaction management.
The thing is, I need a session in other background process, which is not a
web page, just a periodical task. Can I get a session there without creating
a separate HibernateSessionFactory (one is created by honeycomb in its
session factory service)?

Thanks in advance,
Valdemaras
