Fluent Nhibernate and quartz - nhibernate

Question

I'm building a asp.net mvc web application. And I'm running quartz in the asp.net context.
I'm using fluent nhibernate for my or mappings.
I'm building a simple job that goes writes an entry in the database.
public void Execute(JobExecutionContext context)
{
ISession session = DataSourceConfiguration.GetSessionFactory().OpenSession();
session.SaveOrUpdate(new JobLogEntry() { Created = DateTime.Now, Message = "Twitter feed read" });
session.Close();
session.Dispose();
}
public static ISessionFactory GetSessionFactory()
{
return Fluently.Configure()
.Database(CurrentDataBaseConfiguration)
.Mappings(m =>
m.AutoMappings.Add(
AutoMap.AssemblyOf<Entry>()
.Where(t => t.Namespace == "QuickBlog.BlogModel.Entities")
))
.BuildSessionFactory();
}
Here is where the error occurs:
public static IPersistenceConfigurer CurrentDataBaseConfiguration
{
get
{
if (_dataBaseConfiguration != null)
return _dataBaseConfiguration;
var config = MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2005
.ConnectionString(c => c.FromConnectionStringWithKey("QuickBlogDB"))
.UseReflectionOptimizer()
.Cache(c => c.Not
.UseQueryCache())
.ShowSql();
_dataBaseConfiguration = config;
return _dataBaseConfiguration;
}
}
The problem is that c.FromConnectionStringWithKey("QuickBlogDB") is null or empty. How do I get a hold of the configuration info in the quartz.net job?

Answer 1

First of all, you probably should not create your session factory inside your job. I would recommend of having a static class to hold session factory and initialize it in earlier stage, say applications Application_Start method.
It's more resource efficient (a lot) and makes it easier to debug problems as your app won't even start before configuration and preconditions are right.
