SetUp : Spring.Objects.Factory.ObjectDefinitionStoreException : Error registering object with name 'NHibernateSessionFactory' defined in 'assembly

Question

When I run a unit test, this is the error I'm getting:

SetUp : Spring.Objects.Factory.ObjectDefinitionStoreException : Error registering object with name 'NHibernateSessionFactory' defined in 'assembly [Eiq.Middleware.Data.DomainRepository, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5c61376b85e43767], resource [Eiq.Middleware.Data.DomainRepository.Persistence.xml] line 15' : Could not resolve placeholder 'TDM.providerName'.

Is there any way I could get it to somehow pass in the value for "TDM.providerName" by setting something in my unit test app.config? This is what I have tried, but it did not help, where the name of the test project is MiddlewareTests, and the default namespace is Eiq.Middleware.SmokeTest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="databaseProperties" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler, System" />
    <sectionGroup name="spring">
      <section name="context" type="Spring.Context.Support.ContextHandler, Spring.Core" />
      <section name="parsers" type="Spring.Context.Support.NamespaceParsersSectionHandler, Spring.Core" />
      <section name="objects" type="Spring.Context.Support.DefaultSectionHandler, Spring.Core" restartOnExternalChanges="true" />
    </sectionGroup>
  </configSections>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="DefaultUserName" value="tdmuser" />
    <!-- Well Query Limit -->
    <add key="WellQueryLimit" value="50000" />
    <add key="TDM.providerName" value="SqlServer-2.0"/>
  </appSettings>
  <spring>
    <parsers>
      <parser type="Spring.Data.Config.DatabaseNamespaceParser, Spring.Data" />
      <parser type="Spring.Transaction.Config.TxNamespaceParser, Spring.Data" />
      <parser type="Spring.Aop.Config.AopNamespaceParser, Spring.Aop" />
    </parsers>
    <context>
      <resource uri="assembly://MiddlewareTests/Eiq.Middleware.SmokeTest/Persistence.xml" />
      <resource uri="assembly://MiddlewareTests/TEiq.Middleware.SmokeTest/Repositories.xml" />
      <resource uri="assembly://MiddlewareTests/Eiq.Middleware.SmokeTest/Services.xml" />
      <resource uri="config://spring/objects" />
    </context>
    <objects configSource="config\spring.config" />
  </spring>
</configuration>

Or, alternatively, how could I get the application to point to copies of Persistence.xml, Repositories.xml, and Services.xml files that I have modified for testing directly in my unit testing project? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

To resolve the above issue, performed several steps, though I'm not sure specifically which one fixed it:

1. Added reference to NHibernate.Validator, Version=1.3.1.4000 in my test project and NHibernate.Caches.SysCache, Version 3.1.0.4000
2. Added reference log4net, Version=1.2.10.0 to my test project to print out more diagnostic info
3. Added references to System.Configuration, System.Web.ApplicationServices, and System.Web.Extensions to my test project
4. Removed references to Spring.Core and Spring.Data from my test project.

Also, updated the App.config file in my test project to the following, with they key parts being those related to hibernate-configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <section name="databaseProperties" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler, System" />
