NHibernate X-Factories v5.1.0

NHibernate X-Factories allow you to combine multiple .cfg.xml into one. X-Factories does this by allowing each session-factory to be named and referred to individually by name. This gives a cleaner and less verbose configuration for using NHiberate between multiple databases.

Setup

Setup is really quite simple.

1. Install via NuGet.
2. The nhibernate-configuration-x-factories.xsd scheme may be included to a Project or Solution and is available in the NuGet package root folder.
3. Change the xmlns attribute of the hibernate-configuration element in your .cfg.xml to urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2-x-factories.
4. Change hibernate-configuration element to hibernate-configuration-x-factories.
5. Give the session-factory element a name and create as many session-factory elements as you like.

Usage

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<hibernate-configuration-x-factories xmlns="urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2-x-factories">
	
	<session-factory name="Development">
		<property name="connection.provider">NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvider</property>
		<property name="dialect">NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2008Dialect</property>
		<property name="connection.driver_class">NHibernate.Driver.SqlClientDriver</property>
		<property name="connection.connection_string">
			Server=dsql01;DataBase=dbDev;uid=nhDeveloper;pwd=pass1234

		<property name="show_sql">true</property>

		<mapping assembly="DataLayer" />
