Transactional Session with NHibernate Persistence

NuGet Package: NServiceBus.NHibernate.TransactionalSession (8.x)
Target Version: NServiceBus 7.x

In order to use the transactional session feature with NHibernate Persistence, add a reference to the NServiceBus.NHibernate.TransactionalSession NuGet package.

Configuration

To enable the transactional session feature:

var persistence = config.UsePersistence<NHibernatePersistence>();
persistence.EnableTransactionalSession();

Opening a session

To open a NHibernate transactional session:

using var childBuilder = builder.CreateChildBuilder();
var session = childBuilder.Build<ITransactionalSession>();
await session.Open();

// use the session

await session.Commit();

Transaction usage

Message and database operations made via the the transactional session are committed together once the session is committed:

await session.Open();

// add messages to the transaction:
await session.Send(new MyMessage());

// access the database:
var nhibernateSession = session.SynchronizedStorageSession.Session();

await session.Commit();

See the NHibernate shared session documentation for further details about using the transaction.
