Why Use ActiveRecordMediator instead of NHibernate

My blog post on using ActiveRecordMediator to use the Repository pattern with ActiveRecord was discussed on Castle's Forums . A good question was raised in that forum, and other people that I talked to about using the Mediator class: "Why use this instead of NHibernate directly" As mentioned...

NHibernate Query Example using CreateCriteria

I'm a big fan of NHibernate. I love how it abstracts out the data portion of your application and allows you to work from the perspective of the domain rather than the database. So in building my domain repositories, I have several options to query the database using NHibernate: I can use HQL in...

RE: Presentation Model Question

I've been working on an end to end example using MonoRail (I know, just get it posted Joey!) that can demonstrate one way this can be implemented and JP has given me the green light to get it posted even though he's working in some sample code as well. (I'm sure his example will be much better...

CLOBbered again!

Hey all, I'm currently working on an NHibernate on Oracle project and ran into the first problem with CLOBs that I've had in some time. I was trying to use a property that mapped to a CLOB in a Example instance for a session Criteria object. No dice. Oracle complained saying this: System.Data...

SQL Server CE - Great for prototyping and testing

Background Yesterday I put together a simple POC app for my team lead who needed to see Spring.NET + NHibernate in action (no, not the book ) for a client. Even though these days I'm using the Castle stack for most of my IoC/DI and mini-framework needs, it was interesting to see how far Spring.NET...

NHibernate Mapping Validation Tool?

Writing my last post got me thinking... Surely someone has written an automated script or tool that could examine NHibernate mapping files and verify all the items I pointed out in my previous post . Or maybe even, another step further, also make sure the column names specified in the mapping files actually...

Thoughts On Validating NHibernate Mapping Files

Ben brought up a good (pain) point in his comment on my last post that can definitely occur when doing integration testing using NHibernate. Invalid mapping files can cause the ISessionFactory to break upon creation, often leaving you to check the logs to see what's going on. But there are a few...

Unit Testing NHibernate DALs - What Are You *Really* Testing?

Someone new to NHibernate recently asked me how to unit test their data access layer which uses NHibernate. I've already sent him my thoughts on it, but figured it may make for a good blog post to get some of the community's reaction. What Are You *Really* Testing? From my perspective, there...

Castle's ActiveRecord: Not for the Domain Purist in you...

I finally "broke down" and began using ActiveRecord just to try it out. Here's the tutorial that I used. Now, don't get me wrong - ActiveRecord is built on top of NHibernate and it's one of the fastest ways to start working with your persistence layer. So what's the problem? Well, it's this: using Castle...
