Hi,

Is there no way to set the SessionFactory's name using Fluent NHibernate? If not, is there a way to export that part of the NH configuration? I couldn't find a way to do this either.

Thanks

   You can always use the normal nhibernate supported ways of providing your
   configuration. Your not limited to what our fluent interface offers.

   From our wiki (http://wiki.fluentnhibernate.org/Database_configuration) :

   Using Fluent NHibernate does not require you to sacrifice portability across
   RDBMSes. You can use the traditional approach to NHibernate configuration
   (which uses the standard .NET configuration mechanisms) to determine
   database drivers and connection strings this way:

   var cfg = new NHibernate.Cfg.Configuration();
   cfg.Configure(); // read config default style
   Fluently.Configure(cfg)
       .Mappings(
         m => m.FluentMappings.AddFromAssemblyOf<Entity>())
       .BuildSessionFactory();

   Fantastic! Just the thing I was looking for. Completely missed that section of the wiki xD

   Thanks a lot.

   Hi, just a heads up:

   I used the following code to set the session factory name but it didn't work. The NH cfg recognises the name but after I passed it to Fluently.Configure, the resulting factory has Name null. I dug around and found the property is called "session_factory_name" and used ExposeConfiguration SetProperty to get around it.

   Is this a bug?

   hibernate.cfg.xml
   ` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
   
   

   <section name="hibernate-configuration" type="NHibernate.Cfg.ConfigurationSectionHandler, NHibernate" />

   <hibernate-configuration xmlns="urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2">

   <session-factory name="factory">
     <property name="dialect">NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2005Dialect</property>
   </session-factory>

   </hibernate-configuration>
   `

   code
   ` var cfg = new NHibernate.Cfg.Configuration();
   cfg.Configure();

   return Fluently.Configure(cfg)
   

               .Database(
                   MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2005.ConnectionString(Settings.Const_ConnectionString)
                )
               .Mappings(m => m.FluentMappings.AddFromAssemblyOf<Lion>())
               .BuildSessionFactory();

   `

   Oh I didn't realise that we had a way to set the session factory name from
   our fluent interface. I had a quick look beforehand and failed to find it.

   It does seem somewhat undesirable that we might overwrite someone's config
   setting with our own blank one. I wonder if this is an isolated bug or if
   this is happening with other configuration settings as well...
