NHibernate 4.0 - NHibernate.QueryException : Cannot simultaneously fetch multiple bags

After upgrading to NHibernate 4.0, the following code started to fail:

Before I could easily fetch a collection together with its children and grand-children, but now I got the following error message instead:

NHibernate.QueryException : Cannot simultaneously fetch multiple bags.
StackTrace:

Here was the class I used:

And here is the corresponding mapping file:

Important to notice in the code above is that I’m still using the ICollection interface together with a bag in the XML mapping. The reason I was using a bag is because this is old code and there was no ISet interface built into older versions of .NET. In .NET 4.0 an ISet interface was introduced, so there is no reason to use a bag anymore.

Let’s update the code:

After switching to a set, the error went away. Double win!

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
