The reason why I stumbled upon NHibernate.Burrow is that the current solution I use to manage multiple databases isn't clean enough. For the moment the code is based on the SessionManager created by Billy McCafferty (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/architecture/ NHibernateBestPractices.aspx & http://code.google.com/p/sharp-architecture/), but here I need to get a session by the name of its configuration file. Each repository has a string in it with that name. When I looked at Burrow I noticed that I can get a session by type, and that Burrow knows what configuration file is related to that type. It is a lot cleaner and my BaseRepository or BaseDao, doesn't need a string paramter in the constructor that links to the configuration.
I know that Burrow is a project to help with web-development, but the company I work for has windows forms, web and wcf projects that run as windows service, who all use NHibernate. It would be very practical if all those projects could use the same SessionManager and same BaseRepository. The WCF-projects follow almost the same flow as a ASP.NET application, so there I would say a workspace per request. But for the windows forms, I must disappoint you I have no idea either. Monday I will ask my colleagues at work who do the forms development, what they think Burrow should do. I'll keep you informed.
