Configure NHibernate hibernate.cfg.xml file to have more connection strings

问题

My client asked the posibility to switch from a c# app from the "CURRENT" database to a TEST database or DEV database. Only one can be active at a time. In a menu file she choose DEV or TEST database.

How do I configure hibernate.cfg.xml file to have more connection strings like app.config.

<name="CURRENT" connectionString='User Id=u1;Data Source=CURRENT;Password=...' />
<name="DEV" connectionString='User Id=u1;Data Source=DEV;Password=...' />
<name="TEST" connectionString='User Id=u1;Data Source=TEST;Password=...' />

回答1:

I can think of two ways around this:

One is to place NHibernate configuration outside *.config file, then listening to this external file using FileSystemWatcher class. You can change the file content dynamically.

Another way is to have two NHibernate Configuration objects at the same time, and then injecting it's corresponding ISession to your DAO / UnityOfWork / whatever

If this is just for dev / test / production database, I recommend against both. It's better to have three different environments, each with it's own *.config file .

Update: This is now available on NuGet and GitHub

This is a feature I've wanted for sometime. It never came, so over time I've created an extension method called NHibernate X-Factories. All you have to do is create multiple session-factory elements in one .cfg.xml and name them. Then you're able to call them by name when you configure the sessionFactory.

nhibernate.cfg.xml

<hibernate-configuration 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>

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

        <mapping assembly="DataLayer" />
    </session-factory>

    <session-factory name="Production">
        <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=psql02;DataBase=dbDev;uid=nhDeveloper;pwd=pass5678</property>

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

        <mapping assembly="DataLayer" />
    </session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>

NHibernate.Cfg.Configuration config = new NHibernate.Cfg.Configuration();
config.Configure("~/nhibernate.cfg.xml", "Development").BuildSessionFactory();
