instead of using the same database session, you would create a new database session inside of the background task, and you would obtain the objects from the database using this new session. And then instead of passing the object from the database as a parameter to the background task function, you would pass the ID of that object and then obtain the object again inside the background task function....

Provider API, domain object containers) when defining configurable parts of a plugin (tasks, extensions, domain objects).  The Provider API provides a consistent way to set conventions, wire related configuration together (extension <- domain object <- task) and avoid evaluation ordering problems.

The Gradle codebase has evolved over time and has a mixture of simple getter/setter methods, Provider API and things in between.  It can be hard to follow best practices because Gradle provided types...
