NHibernate - Embedded Resource


Although I'm using NHibernate for years, I keep making the same mistake. If you're using the default XML mapping to map your domain model to your database, you'll end up with a lot of .hbm.xml files.

So you start up your application, initialize the SessionFactory, and start your first HQL query and then oops...

NHibernate.QueryException: in expected: (possibly an invalid or unmapped class name was used in the query)

What happened? I forgot to change the Build Action of the .hbm.xml files to "Embedded Resource". This error could be very annoying if you start looking in the wrong places. So always start with checking your build actions if you get an error after adding some new mapping files. It could save you a lot of time.

Of course nowadays you no longer need to be confronted with this type of error because you have 2 alternatives available: Attribute based mapping and Fluent NHibernate.

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
