I'm not asking myself that question.... obviously nH still has releases scheduled, so there must be missing functionality.
Sure, Architecture: - A Winforms; one tier application; layered architecture, based on DDD principles - Session management is one-to-one with UoW. In fact, UoW is simply a wrapper around nH Session. UoW is per use-case basis Use-case: - A typical use-case consists of a list panel and a details panel, both displayed on the same window; they both share the same UoW; - A use-case starts with displaying a list of entities (in DDD terms: only the aggregate-root entities); - The user can choose to modify one of the entities by loading its details into the screen; - After having modified something in the aggregate, the user can decide to discard the change or commit the change made to the aggregate; Decisions: - UoW is used for change tracking. I don't want to do my own dirty checking myself, as nH does a better job. - UoW is used as a "business transaction" principle, the way described by Martin Fowler. Meaning that the UoW needs to know about "any" proposed change. I don't even want to do any change queueing management, as again nH does a better job. - I continue using the same UoW for the lifetime of the "entities list". Sometimes, this is equal to application-lifetime. I'm not concerned with my UoW becoming a giant collection, as the user's data scope-set is limited. - When the user discards the applied modifications, I don't want to evict the aggregate-roots and reload them; I don't want a new instance, I want the current instance being reverted to an initial state. Reason being is that 1) I think that's much cleaner; 2) that's how nH does it with the Refresh(...) already; 3) I don't need to reload all my lists from the UoW in order to guarantee that all my instances are actually attached to the UoW I'm using. - On May 4, 8:47 pm, Fabio Maulo <[email protected]> wrote: > by side, the other thought would be: why within ~6 years of NH and ~9 of > Hibernate with hundred of thousand applications using both frameworks, > nobody needs a such feature ? > > That is only my thought each time I'm thinking about a new feature in NH. > > About revert: > Which kind of application are you implementing ? > WinForms, WebForms, WPF, MVC, WCF ?
