--- title: SAIF.Framework.Data.NHibernate dependencies summary: Internal and external dependencies for this library. status: draft owner: Framework last_reviewed: 2026-09-15 library: SAIF.Framework.Data.NHibernate reference_type: package --- # SAIF.Framework.Data.NHibernate dependencies `SAIF.Framework.Data.NHibernate` is a single-project library packed from one `.csproj`; it has no in-repo `` elements, but four of its NuGet package references (`SAIF.Framework.Common`, `SAIF.Framework.Core`, `SAIF.HashUtil`, `SAIF.Web.API.Clients`) are internal organizational packages confirmed in the SAIFNuget feed, not external third-party packages. The `SAIF.Framework.Core` reference is this library's most heavily consumed dependency: it supplies the `IUnitOfWork`/`IRepository`/`ISessionHelper`/`IDataEntity` seam interfaces and the entire `SAIF.Data.Model.*` entity-model namespace (see the Internal dependencies table below), brought into this project's scope via C# enclosing-namespace lookup — this project's `RootNamespace` (`SAIF.Data.NHibernate`) nests under Core's `SAIF.Data` namespace — rather than an explicit `using SAIF.Data;` directive. ## Internal dependencies | Dependency | Reference Type | Usage | | --- | --- | --- | | SAIF.Framework.Common | NuGet Package | Provides `SAIF.Common.Extensions` (`ForEach`, `IsNull`, `IsMinOrMax`) used in `Factories/OracleConfigurationFactory.cs`, `Factories/SqlServerConfigurationFactory.cs`, `SessionHelper/SessionHelperBase.cs`; and `SAIF.Common` namespace types referenced in `UnitOfWork/NHibernateUnitOfWork.cs` and `Sessions/StatefulSessionStrategy.cs`. Version `2.0.22068.1`, confirmed present in the internal SAIFNuget feed. | | SAIF.Framework.Core | NuGet Package | Supplies the `SAIF.Data` namespace seam interfaces `IUnitOfWork` (implemented by `NHibernateUnitOfWork`), `IRepository` (implemented by `RepositoryBase`), `ISessionHelper` (implemented by `SessionHelperBase`), and `IDataEntity` (the generic constraint on `GetRepository()`), plus the `SAIF.Data.Model.*` entity-model namespace mapped throughout `Mappings/`. No `using SAIF.Data;` directive is required or present: this project's `RootNamespace` (`SAIF.Data.NHibernate`) nests under Core's `SAIF.Data` namespace via C# enclosing-namespace lookup, bringing Core's types into scope directly. Corroborated by the sibling `SAIF.Framework.Data.NHibernate.32.csproj`'s direct `` to `SAIF.Framework.Core.csproj`. Version `2.0.22075.1`, confirmed present in the internal SAIFNuget feed. | | SAIF.HashUtil | NuGet Package | Referenced; no direct usage found in scanned folders.** Version `1.0.18067.1`, confirmed present in the internal SAIFNuget feed. | | SAIF.Web.API.Clients | NuGet Package | Referenced; no direct usage found in scanned folders.** Version `1.1.22066.1`, confirmed present in the internal SAIFNuget feed. Ships two referenced assemblies from the same package folder: `SAIF.Web.API.Clients.dll` and `SAIF.Web.API.Core.dll` (the latter is not a separate NuGet package — both `` elements resolve to `packages\SAIF.Web.API.Clients.1.1.22066.1\lib\net45\`). | ## External dependencies | Dependency | Version | Usage | | --- | --- | --- | | FluentNHibernate | 2.0.1.0 | Fluent mapping DSL (`ClassMap`, `Fluently.Configure()`) used to build the 39 entity mappings and configure NHibernate. | | NHibernate | 4.0.3.4000 | Core ORM (`ISession`, `IStatelessSession`, `Configuration`, `ISessionFactory`) underlying the session strategies, unit of work, and repositories. | | Iesi.Collections | 4.0.1.4000 | NHibernate collection dependency. | | Oracle.ManagedDataAccess | 21.5.0 | Oracle ADO.NET provider consumed by `OracleDataClientConfiguration`/`OracleManagedDataClientDriver`. | | Autofac | 3.5.2 | Referenced but no registration/module code found in scanned folders — likely consumed by a downstream application registering these factories/interfaces.** | | FluentValidation | 5.5.0.0 | Referenced; no direct validator usage found in scanned folders.** | | log4net | 2.0.5 | Referenced; no direct logging calls found in scanned folders.** | | Newtonsoft.Json | 8.0.3 | Referenced; no direct usage found in scanned folders.** | | RestSharp | 106.12.0 | Referenced; no direct usage found in scanned folders.** | | Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces, System.Buffers, System.Memory, System.Numerics.Vectors, System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe, System.Text.Encodings.Web, System.Text.Json, System.Threading.Tasks.Extensions, System.ValueTuple | various | Transitive/BCL polyfill packages, likely pulled in by Newtonsoft.Json/RestSharp/SAIF.* dependencies rather than used directly.* | ## Dependency risks and notes - `IUnitOfWork`, `IRepository`, `ISessionHelper`, `IDataEntity`, and `SAIF.Data.Model.*` are consumed or implemented throughout this library and are supplied by the already-listed `SAIF.Framework.Core` package dependency (namespace `SAIF.Data`), not by the consuming application. They enter this project's scope via C# enclosing-namespace lookup: this project's `RootNamespace` (`SAIF.Data.NHibernate`) nests every source file inside Core's `SAIF.Data` namespace, so no `using SAIF.Data;` directive is required or present — this is why the earlier absence of a `using SAIF.Framework.Core` statement was mistaken for a missing or unresolved dependency. The `using SAIF.Data.NHibernate.Interfaces;` directive found in this library's own files is unrelated: that namespace belongs to this project and contains only its 3 locally-declared interfaces (`IConfigurationFactory`, `ISessionStrategy`, `IUnitOfWorkFactory`). Corroborated by the sibling `SAIF.Framework.Data.NHibernate.32.csproj`'s direct `` to `SAIF.Framework.Core.csproj`. - Seven referenced NuGet packages (Autofac, FluentValidation, log4net, Newtonsoft.Json, RestSharp, SAIF.HashUtil, SAIF.Web.API.Clients) have no direct usage found in the scanned folders. These may be used only by the orphaned `SAIF.Framework.Data.NHibernate.32.csproj` variant (out of scope for this documentation set), may be transitive-only, or may indicate stale/unused references — this could not be resolved from source alone.** - Deserialization of a previously-serialized NHibernate `Configuration` (`BinaryFormatter`) silently swallows any exception and falls back to a fresh build; this affects the `NHibernate`/`FluentNHibernate` dependency's runtime behavior but is not a package-version risk per se. - No `DatabaseConfig`/Autofac-module wiring (e.g., named unit-of-work registrations) was found in this repository; such wiring is presumably owned by a consuming application, but this could not be confirmed.** > **Note:** Statements marked with `*` were inferred from code structure, naming > conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available > in source artifacts. Statements marked with `**` could not be confirmed; treat > as unknown until verified. ## Related documentation - [Index](index.md) - [Overview](overview.md) - [Architecture](architecture.md) - [Operations and processes](operations-processes.md) - [Business rules](business-rules.md) - [Database tables](database-tables.md) - [SQL catalog](sql/index.md) - [API reference](api/index.md) ## Sources - `packages.config` - `SAIF.Framework.Data.NHibernate.csproj` - `SAIF.Framework.Data.NHibernate.sln` - `SAIF.Framework.Data.NHibernate.nuspec` - `Factories/ConfigurationFactoryBase.cs` - `Factories/OracleConfigurationFactory.cs` - `Factories/SqlServerConfigurationFactory.cs` - `SessionHelper/SessionHelperBase.cs` - `UnitOfWork/NHibernateUnitOfWork.cs` - `Sessions/StatefulSessionStrategy.cs` - `Repositories/RepositoryBase.cs` - `Repositories/Imaging/ImageRepositoryExtensions.cs` - `Mappings/` (42 `ClassMap` files)
