NHibernate Save and Commit in one Transaction - c#

I have the following code that creates a new bookmark and adds one or more tags to it. If a tag does not already exist it is created and added to the bookmark.
Bookmark bookmark = new Bookmark();
bookmark.Title = request.Title;
bookmark.Link = request.Link;
bookmark.DateCreated = request.DateCreated;
bookmark.DateModified = request.DateCreated;
bookmark.User = _userRepository.GetUserByUsername(request.Username);
IList<Tag> myTags = _tagRepository.GetTags(request.Username);
IList<string> myTagsToString = myTags.Select(x => x.Title).ToList<string>();
foreach (var tag in request.Tags)
{
if (myTagsToString.Contains(tag))
{
Tag oldTag = myTags.SingleOrDefault(x => x.Title == tag);
bookmark.Tags.Add(oldTag);
}
else
{
Tag newTag = new Tag();
newTag.Title = tag;
newTag.User = _userRepository.GetUserByUsername(request.Username);
newTag.DateCreated = request.DateCreated;
newTag.DateModified = request.DateCreated;
bookmark.Tags.Add(newTag);
}
}
_bookmarkRepository.Add(bookmark);
_uow.Commit();
I implemented unit of work but I am not sure if I did this correctly. I use the save method followed by a commit. The save method inserts the bookmark and tags to the database and the commit method does an insert to the junction table (bookmarks have many tags and tags have many bookmarks).
So everything is inserted correctly. But if I remove the commit method the bookmark and tags still get inserted. But their is no insert to the junction table. Does this mean these inserts are not in the same transaction since commit is not necessary to save the bookmark and tags to the database? The commit is only necessary to save the relationship between tags and bookmarks.
EDIT:
Repository
public abstract class Repository<T, TEntityKey> where T : IAggregateRoot
{
private IUnitOfWork _uow;
public Repository(IUnitOfWork uow)
{
_uow = uow;
}
public void Save(T entity)
{
SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession().SaveOrUpdate(entity);
}
public void Add(T entity)
{
SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession().Save(entity);
}
public void Remove(T entity)
{
SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession().Delete(entity);
}
public IEnumerable<T> FindAll()
{
ICriteria criteriaQuery = SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession().CreateCriteria(typeof(T));
return (List<T>)criteriaQuery.List<T>();
}
}
UnitOfWork
public class NHUnitOfWork : IUnitOfWork
{
public void RegisterAmended(IAggregateRoot entity)
{
SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession().SaveOrUpdate(entity);
}
public void RegisterNew(IAggregateRoot entity)
{
SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession().Save(entity);
}
public void RegisterRemoved(IAggregateRoot entity)
{
SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession().Delete(entity);
}
public void Commit()
{
using (ITransaction transaction = SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession().BeginTransaction())
{
try
{
transaction.Commit();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
transaction.Rollback();
throw;
}
}
}
}
BookmarkRepository
public class BookmarkRepository : Repository<Bookmark, int>, IBookmarkRepository
{
public BookmarkRepository(IUnitOfWork uow)
: base(uow)
{
}
}
UPDATE:
I changed NHUnitOfWork to this:
public class NHUnitOfWork : IUnitOfWork
{
private ITransaction _transaction;
public void RegisterAmended(IAggregateRoot entity)
{
SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession().SaveOrUpdate(entity);
}
public void RegisterNew(IAggregateRoot entity)
{
SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession().Save(entity);
}
public void RegisterRemoved(IAggregateRoot entity)
{
SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession().Delete(entity);
}
public void BeginTransaction()
{
_transaction = SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession().BeginTransaction();
}
public void Commit()
{
using (_transaction)
{
try
{
_transaction.Commit();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
_transaction.Rollback();
throw;
}
}
}
}
So I can use it like this:
_uow.BeginTransaction();
Bookmark bookmark = new Bookmark();
bookmark.Title = request.Title;
bookmark.Link = request.Link;
bookmark.DateCreated = request.DateCreated;
bookmark.DateModified = request.DateCreated;
bookmark.User = _userRepository.GetUserByUsername(request.Username);
IList<Tag> myTags = _tagRepository.GetTags(request.Username);
IList<string> myTagsToString = myTags.Select(x => x.Title).ToList<string>();
foreach (var tag in request.Tags)
{
if (myTagsToString.Contains(tag))
{
Tag oldTag = myTags.SingleOrDefault(x => x.Title == tag);
bookmark.Tags.Add(oldTag);
}
else
{
Tag newTag = new Tag();
newTag.Title = tag;
newTag.User = _userRepository.GetUserByUsername(request.Username);
newTag.DateCreated = request.DateCreated;
newTag.DateModified = request.DateCreated;
bookmark.Tags.Add(newTag);
}
}
_bookmarkRepository.Add(bookmark);
_uow.Commit();
I added a begin transaction to the NHUnitOfWork implementation. This means I need to call _uow.BeginTransaction() before any select or insert and in the end call _uow.Commit(). This seems to work if I look at NHibernate Profiler. If this is wrong please tell me :)

Your Save methods are not executed inside a transaction, because you close and open the transaction in the Commit method.
The correct implementation would be to start the transaction before calling Save.

Which way is correct to connect to SQL Server for transaction

Which way is more correct to delete entity?
Correct means: for a lot of rows, we should use way that is more trust-able and close transaction after end of work
First attempt:
public class UserRepository : IDisposable
{
private DomainModels.BotEntities _dbDnt = null;
public UserRepository()
{
_dbDnt = new DomainModels.IraniBotEntities();
}
public bool Delete(int id, bool autoSave = true)
{
try
{
var entity = _dbDnt.Users.Find(id);
_dbDnt.Entry(entity).State = EntityState.Deleted;
if (autoSave)
return Convert.ToBoolean(_dbDnt.SaveChanges());
else
return false;
}
catch
{
return false;
}
}
public int Save()
{
try
{
return _dbDnt.SaveChanges();
}
catch
{
return -1;
}
}
public void Dispose()
{
Dispose(true);
GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
}
protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing)
{
if (this._dbDnt != null)
{
this._dbDnt.Dispose();
this._dbDnt = null;
}
}
}
~UserRepository()
{
Dispose(false);
}
}
and then use like this :
UserRepository repA = new UserRepository();
repA.Delete(user);
Second attempt:
using (var dbContext = new IraniBotEntities())
{
dbContext.Users.Remove(user);
dbContext.SaveChanges();
}
Which way is more correct? Because I'm using hangfire with first way and my cpu on server is going to 100%
You should be choosing 2nd way instead of first.
for deleting multiple rows you can do as mentioned below.
using (var dbContext = new IraniBotEntities())
{
var allRec= dbContext.Users;
dbContext.Users.RemoveRange(allRec);
dbContext.SaveChanges();
}

Calling repository methods from another repository C#

I have a "DatabaseController" Class, which contains several repository classes, each for every table in a database, and they only perform crud operations. My issue is this.
When i delete an entry , i call the corresponding repository method. I also need to call some delete methods from other tables (repositories). What is the best approach to do this?
Example Code:
DatabaseController Class
public DatabaseController(){
this.dbContext = new WSATDbContext();
}
private IWSATGenericRepository<Restmethod> _restmethod ;
private IWSATGenericRepository<Soapservice> _soapservice ;
public IWSATGenericRepository<Restmethod> Restmethod
{
get
{
if (_restmethod == null)
{
_restmethod = new RestmethodRepository(dbContext);
}
return _restmethod;
}
}
public IWSATGenericRepository<Soapservice> Soapservice
{
get
{
if (_soapservice == null)
{
_soapservice = new SoapserviceRepository(dbContext);
}
return _soapservice;
}
}
Example Repository:
public class RestmethodRepository : IWSATGenericRepository<Restmethod>
{
public RestmethodRepository(DbContext dbContext)
{
if (dbContext == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("Null DbContext");
this.dbContext = dbContext;
this.dbSet = dbContext.Set<Restmethod>();
}
private DbContext dbContext { get; set; }
private DbSet<Restmethod> dbSet { get; set; }
public Restmethod get(int id)
{
Restmethod restmethod = dbSet.Find(id) ;
dbContext.Entry(restmethod).Collection(s => s.methodkeywords).Load() ;
return restmethod ;
}
public Restmethod delete(int id)
{
var entity = this.get(id);
//I want to call some other repo methods here
dbContext.Entry(entity).State = EntityState.Deleted;
try
{
dbContext.SaveChanges();
}
catch (DbUpdateException e)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(e.StackTrace);
return null;
}
return entity;
}
}
}
EDIT: Is it good practice to pass the "DatabaseController" UOW class as an argument to each repository? Are there any theoretical problems with that? This is an academic project , so i'd like to stay as formal as possible.

Property not updated after SaveChanges (EF database first)

First of all, I would like to say that I read the related posts (notably EF 4.1 SaveChanges not updating navigation or reference properties, Entity Framework Code First - Why can't I update complex properties this way?, and Entity Framework 4.1 RC (Code First) - Entity not updating over association).
However, I could not solve my problem. I am quite new to Entity Framework so I guess I must have misunderstood those posts answers.
Anyway I would be really grateful is someone could help me understand because I am quite stuck.
I have two tables :
Person
Item with a nullable PersonId and a Type
An item can have an owner, or not.
Consequently, Person has an Items property which is an IEnumerable of Item.
A person can have one only Item by type.
If the person wants to change, he can replace his current item by any other of the same type in his items :
public class MyService
{
private PersonRepo personRepo = new PersonRepo();
private ItemRepo itemRepo = new ItemRepo();
public void SwitchItems(Person person, Guid newItemId)
{
using (var uof = new UnitOfWork())
{
// Get the entities
Item newItem = itemRepo.Get(newItemId);
Item oldItem = person.Items.SingleOrDefault(i => i.Type == newItem.Type)
// Update the values
newItem.PersonId = person.Id;
oldItem.PersonId = null;
// Add or update entities
itemRepo.AddOrUpdate(oldItem);
itemRepo.AddOrUpdate(newItem);
personRepo.AddOrUpdate(person);
uof.Commit(); // only does a SaveChanges()
}
}
}
Here is the repositories structure and the AddOrUpdate method :
public class PersonRepo : RepositoryBase<Person>
{
...
}
public class RepositoryBase<TObject> where TObject : class, IEntity
{
protected MyEntities entities
{
get { return UnitOfWork.Current.Context; }
}
public virtual void AddOrUpdate(TObject entity)
{
if (entity != null)
{
var entry = entities.Entry<IEntity>(entity);
if (Exists(entity.Id))
{
if (entry.State == EntityState.Detached)
{
var set = entities.Set<TObject>();
var currentEntry = set.Find(entity.Id);
if (currentEntry != null)
{
var attachedEntry = entities.Entry(currentEntry);
attachedEntry.CurrentValues.SetValues(entity);
}
else
{
set.Attach(entity);
entry.State = EntityState.Modified;
}
}
else
entry.State = EntityState.Modified;
}
else
{
entry.State = EntityState.Added;
}
}
}
}
This works pretty well and the old and the new items' PersonId properties are correctly updated in database.
However, if I check person.Items after the SaveChanges(), the old item still appears instead of the new one and I need it to be correct in order to update the page's controls values.
Although I read the posts with the same issue I could not resolve it...
I tried lots of things, notably calling entities.Entry(person).Collection(p => p.Items).Load() but got an exception each time I tried.
If somebody has any idea please feel free, I can add some more code if needed.
Thanks a lot !

Two solutions that worked
Solution 1 (reload from context after SaveChanges)
public partial class MyPage
{
private MyService service;
private Person person;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
service = new MyService();
person = service.GetCurrentPerson(Request.QueryString["id"]);
...
}
protected void SelectNewItem(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Guid itemId = Guid.Parse(((Button)sender).Attributes["id"]);
service.SelectNewItem(person, itemId);
UpdatePage();
}
private void UpdatePage()
{
if (person != null)
person = service.GetCurrentPerson(Request.QueryString["id"]);
// Update controls values using person's properties here
}
}
public class MyService
{
private PersonRepo personRepo = new PersonRepo();
private ItemRepo itemRepo = new ItemRepo();
public void SwitchItems(Person person, Guid newItemId)
{
using (var uof = new UnitOfWork())
{
// Get the entities
Item newItem = itemRepo.Get(newItemId);
Item oldItem = person.Items.SingleOrDefault(i => i.Type == newItem.Type)
// Update the values
newItem.PersonId = person.Id;
oldItem.PersonId = null;
// Add or update entities
itemRepo.AddOrUpdate(oldItem);
itemRepo.AddOrUpdate(newItem);
personRepo.AddOrUpdate(person);
uof.Commit(); // only does a SaveChanges()
}
}
}
Solution 2 (update database AND property)
public partial class MyPage
{
private MyService service;
private Person person;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
service = new MyService();
person = service.GetCurrentPerson(Request.QueryString["id"]);
...
}
protected void SelectNewItem(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Guid itemId = Guid.Parse(((Button)sender).Attributes["id"]);
service.SelectNewItem(person, itemId);
UpdatePage();
}
private void UpdatePage()
{
// Update controls values using person's properties here
}
}
public class MyService
{
private PersonRepo personRepo = new PersonRepo();
private ItemRepo itemRepo = new ItemRepo();
public void SwitchItems(Person person, Guid newItemId)
{
using (var uof = new UnitOfWork())
{
// Get the entities
Item newItem = itemRepo.Get(newItemId);
Item oldItem = person.Items.SingleOrDefault(i => i.Type == newItem.Type)
// Update the values
newItem.PersonId = person.Id;
oldItem.PersonId = null;
person.Items.Remove(oldItem);
person.Items.Add(newItem);
// Add or update entities
itemRepo.AddOrUpdate(oldItem);
itemRepo.AddOrUpdate(newItem);
personRepo.AddOrUpdate(person);
uof.Commit(); // only does a SaveChanges()
}
}
}
How about refreshing your context to make sure you have the latest db changes after the .SaveChanges() method. Pass in the entity to be refreshed an call Refresh on the context:
((IObjectContextAdapter)_dbContext).ObjectContext.Refresh(RefreshMode.StoreWins, entityPassed);
Or leave the Commit() method as is and use a more dynamic approach something like:
var changedEntities = (from item in context.ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntries(
EntityState.Added
| EntityState.Deleted
| EntityState.Modified
| EntityState.Unchanged)
where item.EntityKey != null
select item.Entity);
context.Refresh(RefreshMode.StoreWins, changedEntities);
The RefreshMode.StoreWins simply indicates that the database (store) takes priority and will override client (in-memory) changes.
If the Refresh method does not work, you can consider the following:
public void RefreshEntity(T entity)
{
_dbContext.Entry<T>(entity).Reload();
}
Or if all else fails, keep it simple and Dispose of your DbContext once you're done with each transaction (In this case after SaveChanges() has been called). Then if you need to use results after a commit, treat it as a new transaction and, instantiating a fresh DbContext and load your necessary data again.
Use Transection for example.
It's working fine.
public class UnitOfWork : IUnitOfWork
{
public readonly DatabaseContext _context;
private readonly IDbTransaction _transaction;
private readonly ObjectContext _objectContext;
public UnitOfWork(DatabaseContext context)
{
_context = context as DatabaseContext ?? new DatabaseContext ();
this._objectContext = ((IObjectContextAdapter)this._context).ObjectContext;
if (this._objectContext.Connection.State != ConnectionState.Open)
{
this._objectContext.Connection.Open();
this._transaction = _objectContext.Connection.BeginTransaction();
}
}
public int Complete()
{
int result = 0;
try
{
result = _context.SaveChanges();
this._transaction.Commit();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Rollback();
}
return result;
}
private void Rollback()
{
this._transaction.Rollback();
foreach (var entry in this._context.ChangeTracker.Entries())
{
switch (entry.State)
{
case System.Data.Entity.EntityState.Modified:
entry.State = System.Data.Entity.EntityState.Unchanged;
break;
case System.Data.Entity.EntityState.Added:
entry.State = System.Data.Entity.EntityState.Detached;
break;
case System.Data.Entity.EntityState.Deleted:
entry.State = System.Data.Entity.EntityState.Unchanged;
break;
}
}
}
public void Dispose()
{
if (this._objectContext.Connection.State == ConnectionState.Open)
{
this._objectContext.Connection.Close();
}
_context.Dispose();
}
}

Nhibernate Lazy Load exception after a view exception

I get a weird behavior with NHibernate with Fluent Configuration.
Whenever a generic exception unrelated to the NHibernate occurs i.e. in the view a DivideByZeroException every request after the exception throws.
An exception of type 'NHibernate.LazyInitializationException' occurred in NHibernate.dll but was not handled in user code. Additional information: Initializing[Entity]-Could not initialize proxy - no Session.
Due to nature of the bug the bug is critical due to the fact that 1 user can make the whole website dead if he generates an exception
Following it is my HttpModule for Nhibernate with Asp.Net MVC 5 that takes care of sessions.

Edit 2
The base controller class I use
public class BaseController : Controller
{
private readonly IRepository<UserEntity> _userRepository;
public BaseController()
{
_userRepository = new Repository<UserEntity>();
BaseModel = new LayoutModel {Modals = new List<string>()};
}
public UserEntity LoggedUser { get; set; }
public LayoutModel BaseModel { get; set; }
protected override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext ctx)
{
base.OnActionExecuting(ctx);
if (HttpContext.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
if (Session != null && Session["User"] != null)
{
LoggedUser = (User) Session["User"];
}
var curUsername = HttpContext.User.Identity.Name;
if (LoggedUser == null || LoggedUser.Entity2.un!= curUsername)
{
LoggedUser = _userRepository.FindBy(u => u.Entity2.un== curUsername);
Session["User"] = LoggedUser;
}
BaseModel.LoggedUser = LoggedUser;
BaseModel.Authenticated = true;
}
else
{
LoggedUser = new UserEntity
{
Entity= new Entity{un= "Guest"},
};
BaseModel.LoggedUser = LoggedUser;
}
}
}
The extended question and all the snippets - are finally helping to find out where is the issue.
There is a really big issue: Session["User"] = LoggedUser;
This would hardly work. Why?
because we place into long running object (Web Session)
an instance loaded via very shortly lasting Web Request
Not all its properties will/could be loaded, When we place LoggedUser into session. It could be just a root entity with many proxies representing references and collections. These will NEVER be loaded later, because its Mather session is closed... gone
Solution?
I would use .Clone() of the User object. In its implementation we can explicitly load all needed references and collections and clone them as well. Such object could be placed into the Web Session
[Serializable]
public class User, ICloneable, ...
{
...
public override object Clone()
{
var entity = base.Clone() as User;
entity.Role = Role.Clone() as Role;
...
return entity;
}
So, what would be placed into session?
Session["User"] = LoggedUser.Clone();
As Radim Köhler noted i was saving a lazy-loaded object in Session that caused the problem.
But i wanted to avoid the Serilization of all objects and i fixed it as follows.
I added the following method to eager-load an entity instead of lazy
public T FindByEager(int id)
{
T entity = FindBy(id);
NHibernateUtil.Initialize(entity);
return entity;
}
And changed BaseController to
if (Session != null) Session["User"] = userRepository.FindByEager(LoggedUser.Id);

Crud operations with unit of work and generic repository

I am working on crud operations in mvc 4.0 with unitofwork and generic repository with Ninject for DI.
I am able to get a particular record from a table, I am even able to get all the records from the table.
but I am not able to insert a new record in the database table. I am not getting any error/exception and it is running each statement
cleanly but there is no effect in database below is my controller where I am using the repository and unitof work.
Can somebody tell me where I am wron or what code/statements I have left in this code. I ahve checked it lot of time and I am stucked now.
Not getting the problem
Controller:
private IUnitOfWork _unitOfWork;
private IRepository<tbl_Employee> _Repo;
private IRepository<tbl_Department> _Department;
public HomeController( IUnitOfWork UOW, IRepository<tbl_Employee> Repository, IRepository<tbl_Department> Depart)
{
this._unitOfWork = UOW;
this._Repo = Repository;
this._Department = Depart;
}
//This runs successfully and gets all the records in the view page and I am displaying all records using foreach in div structure
public ActionResult Index()
{
EmployeeModel ObjModel = new EmployeeModel();
ObjModel.Employees = this._Repo.GetALL();
//ObjModel.Employees = this._Employee.GetEmployees();
return View(ObjModel);
}
//This also runs successfully and it brought me a single record on selection of particular record from employee listing.
public ActionResult EmployeeDetail(string id)
{
EmployeeDetailModel ObjModel = new EmployeeDetailModel();
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(id))
{
var Employee = this._Repo.Find(Convert.ToInt32(id));
if (Employee != null)
{
ObjModel.InjectFrom(Employee);
}
}
return View(ObjModel);
}
// Here is the problem . Not able to insert the record. The model object is not empty . I have checked it and there is no error.It brought me a message
"Employee Created Successfully but in database there is no record.

My UnitofWork and Repository class derives from connection class where dbcontext is defined.
public abstract class Connection
{
protected db_TestEntities _dbContext;
public Connection()
{
this._dbContext = new db_TestEntities();
}
}
Is it that my dbContext is creating a new instance everytime like explained Here
and if yes then how can I resolve it.
tbl_Employee ObjEmployee = new tbl_Employee();
ObjEmployee.InjectFrom(Model);
if (Model.Male)
{
ObjEmployee.Sex = "m";
}
else
{
ObjEmployee.Sex = "f";
}
ObjEmployee.Department_Id = Model.Dept_id;
ObjEmployee.Salary = Convert.ToInt32(Model.Salary);
this._Repo.Insert(ObjEmployee);
After this, you should see your object mapped by EF in local memory.
this._unitOfWork.Commit();
Here your object should be pushed to database. dbContext.SaveChanges() return number of changed records which should be in your case 1.
Msg = "Employee Created Successfully";
Update:
So the problem is in your Connection class as you suggested.
I would create your DbContext in one place and then pass it to repository and unit of work. You could also create DbContext in unit of work constructor and then pass UOW to repository. This is one of my older implementation of this:
public class EntityFrameworkUnitOfWork : IUnitOfWork
{
private ForexDbContext dbContext;
internal ForexDbContext DbContext
{
get { return dbContext ?? (dbContext = new ForexDbContext()); }
}
internal DbSet<T> Set<T>()
where T : class
{
return DbContext.Set<T>();
}
public void Dispose()
{
if(dbContext == null) return;
dbContext.Dispose();
dbContext = null;
}
public void SaveChanges()
{
int result = DbContext.SaveChanges();
}
public ITransaction BeginTransaction()
{
return new EntityFrameworkTransaction(DbContext.BeginTransaction());
}
}
public class ContactsRepositoryWithUow : IRepository<Contact>
{
private SampleDbEntities entities = null;
public ContactsRepositoryWithUow(SampleDbEntities _entities)
{
entities = _entities;
}
public IEnumerable<Contact> GetAll(Func<Contact, bool> predicate = null)
{
if (predicate != null)
{
if (predicate != null)
{
return entities.Contacts.Where(predicate);
}
}
return entities.Contacts;
}
public Contact Get(Func<Contact, bool> predicate)
{
return entities.Contacts.FirstOrDefault(predicate);
}
public void Add(Contact entity)
{
entities.Contacts.AddObject(entity);
}
public void Attach(Contact entity)
{
entities.Contacts.Attach(entity);
entities.ObjectStateManager.ChangeObjectState(entity, EntityState.Modified);
}
public void Delete(Contact entity)
{
entities.Contacts.DeleteObject(entity);
}
}
