Fabio, I saw bits of that discussion on my google wandering. I was
relying on ambient transactions (no nh transaction) and that worked
fine until this issue where I am trying to write to another database
(ie another SessionFactory) inside of a single transaction so that if
there are problems everything gets tossed out. My assumption was that
the ISession would itself enlist itself in the current
transaction...it 'felt' like it would I guess. Since I am using a
similar AOP transaction (castle's) management I just need to have the
adapter open a NH transaction explicitly so no biggie.
>From an I-am-naive-and-I-havent-thought-about-this-as-much-as-Fabio
standpoint, though, it seems like since NHibernate _strongly_
recommends everything should be done inside a transaction it would
just enlist _any_ activity on a ISession in the current dtc trx.
