Remarks

NHibernate has two property scopes: Factory-level properties may be passed to the ISessionFactory when it is instantiated. Each instance might have different property values. If no properties are specified, the factory gets them from Environment System-level properties are shared by all factory instances and are always determined by the Environment properties In NHibernate, <hibernate-configuration> section in the application configuration file corresponds to Java system-level properties; <session-factory> section is the session-factory-level configuration. It is possible to use the application configuration file (App.config) together with the NHibernate configuration file (hibernate.cfg.xml) at the same time. Properties in hibernate.cfg.xml override/merge properties in application configuration file where same property is found. For others configuration a merge is applied.
