It’s been nearly a year since I published my method for getting one NHibernate session per WCF operation using Castle’s NHibernate Facility and AutoTx AOP Facility — a method I developed for an application which was having serious session management issues (it was using one session per SQL statement). However, today I ripped it all [...]
This week I’ve been working on a brownfield Castle-powered WCF service that was creating a separate NHibernate session on every call to a repository object. Abusing NHibernate like this was playing all sorts of hell for our app (e.g. TransientObjectExceptions), and prevented us from using transactions that matched with a logical unit of work, so [...]
I ran into an interesting problem today with command-based SQL Notifications. We’ve recently introduced SysCache2 on a project as NHibernate’s level 2 cache provider, because of it’s ability to invalidate regions when underlying data changes, and I already wrote about some issues we had with it. Unfortunately we hit another road block today, this time [...]
One of the projects I’m involved at work in is slowly migrating from classic ADO.NET to NHibernate. However, with around 2,200 stored procedures and 30 mapped classes, there is some overlap that cannot be avoided: a number of tables are written by one side but queried by the other. For performance, we want to use [...]
Recently we have been introducing NHibernate and a domain layer to an older system that relies primarily on the Enterprise Library Data Access application block and stored procedures for database access. This has mostly gone pretty smoothly, except in situations where we mix the two strategies inside a transaction. Enterprise Library and NHibernate both manage [...]
