HttpApplication EndRequest Event Invoked Many Times In Single Request?

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 20:44:37 +0000

The other day I was putting the last touch of a temporary way to manage the NHibernate session (ISession) in Bunian. So part of the task was to bind a method to the HttpApplication EndRequest event (in the Global.asax.cs file) like the following:

    public override void Init()
  
    {
  
           this.EndRequest += WorkContext.NHibernateSessionManager.Instance.HttpRequestEnded;
  
    }

By doing this, at the end of each page request the NHibernateSessionManager.Instance.HttpRequestEnded() will be called and I can clean the session then. But to my surprise this method was called at least 10 times!! So I thought maybe the Global.Init() method is called many times for some reason and I ended up binding the same method to the EndRequest event many times, so I set a breakpoint at the Global.Init() method and…it’s called one time only.
