I guess I need to clarify what I said, or better said correct it. In my opinion, your repository should not be opening or closing sessions, and your concrete implementation of the repository should have access to "session" object. Here is what I do:
1. In my domain I define IRepository per aggregate root 2. In my "DAL" layer I have I have generic repository as base class that has only Get, Save, Delete 3. For each defined interface in domain I have concrete implementation that is aware of the session. 4. I have HttpModule that handles opening and closing of the session per request, or per conversation.
