Note: Now that I've typed this out, I have to apologize for the super long question, however, I think all the code and information presented here is in some way relevant.


Okay, I'm getting odd "Session Is Closed" errors, at random points in my ASP.NET webforms application. Today, however, it's finally happening in the same place over and over again. I am near certain that nothing is disposing or closing the session in my code, as the bits of code that use are well contained away from all other code as you'll see below.

I'm also using ninject as my IOC, which may / may not be important.

Okay, so, First my SessionFactoryProvider and SessionProvider classes:


SessionFactoryProvider

public class SessionFactoryProvider : IDisposable
{
    ISessionFactory sessionFactory;

    public ISessionFactory GetSessionFactory()
    {
        if (sessionFactory == null)
            sessionFactory =
                Fluently.Configure()
                        .Database(
                            MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2005.ConnectionString(p =>
                                p.FromConnectionStringWithKey("QoiSqlConnection")))
                        .Mappings(m =>
                            m.FluentMappings.AddFromAssemblyOf<JobMapping>())
                        .BuildSessionFactory();

        return sessionFactory;
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        if (sessionFactory != null)
            sessionFactory.Dispose();
    }
}

SessionProvider

public class SessionProvider : IDisposable
{
    ISessionFactory sessionFactory;
    ISession session;

    public SessionProvider(SessionFactoryProvider sessionFactoryProvider)
    {
        this.sessionFactory = sessionFactoryProvider.GetSessionFactory();
    }

    public ISession GetCurrentSession()
    {
        if (session == null)
            session = sessionFactory.OpenSession();

        return session;
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        if (session != null)
        {
            session.Dispose();                
        }
    }
}

These two classes are wired up with Ninject as so:

NHibernateModule

public class NHibernateModule : StandardModule
{        
    public override void Load()
    {
        Bind<SessionFactoryProvider>().ToSelf().Using<SingletonBehavior>();
        Bind<SessionProvider>().ToSelf().Using<OnePerRequestBehavior>();
    }
}

and as far as I can tell work as expected.

Now my BaseDao<T> class:


BaseDao

public class BaseDao<T> : IDao<T> where T : EntityBase
{
    private SessionProvider sessionManager;
    protected ISession session { get { return sessionManager.GetCurrentSession(); } }

    public BaseDao(SessionProvider sessionManager)
    {
        this.sessionManager = sessionManager;
    }        

    public T GetBy(int id)
    {
        return session.Get<T>(id);
    }

    public void Save(T item)        
    {
        using (var transaction = session.BeginTransaction())
        {
            session.SaveOrUpdate(item);

            transaction.Commit();
        }
    }

    public void Delete(T item)
    {
        using (var transaction = session.BeginTransaction())
        {
            session.Delete(item);

            transaction.Commit();
        }
    }

    public IList<T> GetAll()
    {
        return session.CreateCriteria<T>().List<T>();
    }

    public IQueryable<T> Query()
    {
        return session.Linq<T>();
    }        
}

Which is bound in Ninject like so:


DaoModule

public class DaoModule : StandardModule
{
    public override void Load()
    {
        Bind(typeof(IDao<>)).To(typeof(BaseDao<>))
                            .Using<OnePerRequestBehavior>();
    }
}

Now the web request that is causing this is when I'm saving an object, it didn't occur till I made some model changes today, however the changes to my model has not changed the data access code in anyway. Though it changed a few NHibernate mappings (I can post these too if anyone is interested)

From as far as I can tell, BaseDao<SomeClass>.Get is called then BaseDao<SomeOtherClass>.Get is called then BaseDao<TypeImTryingToSave>.Save is called.

it's the third call at the line in Save()

using (var transaction = session.BeginTransaction())

that fails with "Session is Closed!" or rather the exception:

Session is closed!
Object name: 'ISession'.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. 

Exception Details: System.ObjectDisposedException: Session is closed!
Object name: 'ISession'.

And indeed following through on the Debugger shows the third time the session is requested from the SessionProvider it is indeed closed and not connected.

I have verified that Dispose on my SessionFactoryProvider and on my SessionProvider are called at the end of the request and not before the Save call is made on my Dao.

So now I'm a little stuck. A few things pop to mind.

  • Am I doing anything obviously wrong?
  • Does NHibernate ever close sessions without me asking to?
  • Any workarounds or ideas on what I might do?

Thanks in advance
