Generating nHibernate cfg file from Configuration instance

Question

Is there any way for me to generate an nHibernate configuration file from a Configuration instance (that has been already configured by some external code?). I'm looking for an easy way to mimic this external code with a static XML file?

(I guess similar to the "ExportTo" method that Fluent nHibernate has for fluent mappings - but acting on the resulting Configuration object instead).

Thank you!

No, there is no way to do that easily.

What can be done (and is common) is binary serialization of the configuration. Check http://github.com/ayende/Effectus/blob/master/Effectus/Infrastructure/BootStrapper.cs
