A couple days ago I posted an exception I was receiving seemingly randomly when using IBatis:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01152.html I did some more research and got it to reproduce. Here it is. THE SETUP In my Global.asax, I kick-start a background process using the Timer class. This Timer class uses a delgate DoTimerBasedStuff() which is called periodically. The DoTimerBasedStuff() method accesses two different databases, MySQL and SQL Server. Both are setup properly using their MySQLMapper and SQLServerMapper classes. Aside from a couple of these background threads, the application also has a web front which accesses both databases using typical .aspx pages and classes inherited from Page. Nothing fancy. THE PROBLEM If the application is started by going to index.aspx using a browser (this page doesn't do any db stuff but triggers Global.asax) and no other actions are taken until the first call of DoTimerBasedStuff() all is well and both the background process and the web users are fine. IBatis does everything right. BUT if I start the application by going to index.aspx and then immediately do some work via the web which accesses a database (before DoTimerBasedStuff() is executed), the DoTimerBasedStuff() method has trouble accessing the HttpContext and gives the following error: Exception: WebSessionStore: Could not obtain reference to HttpContext at IBatisNet.DataMapper.SessionStore.WebSessionStore.ObtainSessionContext() at IBatisNet.DataMapper.SessionStore.WebSessionStore.get_LocalSession() at IBatisNet.DataMapper.SqlMapper.QueryForObject(String ... I guess the question that I should be asking is what is the best way to run a background process/thread in a web application which uses IBatis functionality. Thanks in advance.
