Hi guys,

I'm not sure whether this is an NHibernate error, but I'm totally stumped and Google hasn't been able to provide an answer. Perhaps some of you have seen it before as I imagine what I'm trying to do is quite common...?

So, I've got a .NET MVC2 website (C#). When a user logs in, I persist the User object I get from NHibernate to the web-session. (I Evict it from the NHibernate session first to be on the safe side.)

Here is the relevant code for persisting the user following on log on:

Code:
var userRepository = DependencyFactory.Get<IUserRepository>();
var user = userRepository.GetByUserNameAndPassword(userName, password);

userRepository.Evict(user);

var statePersister = DependencyFactory.Get<IStatePersister>();
statePersister.State.CurrentUser = user;


...as you can see I'm using a simple repository pattern to wrap the NHibernate stuff, and I'm also using a state persister pattern to allow all session variables to be stored in a single Serializable strongly typed class.

The important bit from the persister is as follows:

Code:
public State State
        {
            get
            {
                lock (stateLock)
                {
                    var state = HttpContext.Current.Session[sessionKey] as State;

                    if (state == null)
                    {
                        state = new State();
                        HttpContext.Current.Session[sessionKey] = state;
                    }

                    return state;
                }
            }
        }


If I change my user object and then try and access the State class from the state persister, I get the following error

"Cannot create an abstract class."

...when I get to the line:

Code:
var state = HttpContext.Current.Session[sessionKey] as State;


Any one got any clues where to start looking with this? Any help gratefully received!

Thanks in advance,

Steve.
